Dear Greg,
I'm glad you appreciate my cooking skills, when Gabby turned up her nose I started taking it personally! This week's adventure involves a contraption called a “NettyPot.” It's a form of water torture, which I poured through my nose: first one nostril until the water came out the the other nostril—then the other.
I have a deep respect for those who have truly suffered water torturing.
Why this self inflicted punishment you ask?
Because when I was a youngster (Peter was still in his car seat), I had to have this horrid surgery to “remove my adenoids” or clip them back or something. Those things are in your nose. I guess from my swimming days, I always have a stuffy nose. Basically, the doctor puts you out and peels your nose back across your face—and clips 'em back.
It was the WORST. I would rather enter a culinary school than subject myself to such punishment again. I distinctly remember Peter sitting in his car seat, sucking his thumb, telling me that I looked like a tiger (because of the criss-cross ways they had to bandage my nose up).
The doctor told me that I'd have to have it done again in about 10 years, cuz they grow back That was over 20 years ago (as noted by Peter's own toddler in a car seat). I have been having a little trouble with my nose—always stuffy—waking up with dry EVERYTHING, etc., etc., etc.
Besides, I don't look good as a tiger.
So, I thought I'd give this a whirl. It was designed by a doctor, and Oprah had it on her show!
Needless to say, I'm looking up cooking schools.
Love,
Aunt Loretta

Looks dreadful! I can't imagine enduring such torture. Thanks for the good laugh though. :)
