'Feed your friends, and their mouths will be too full to gossip,' Bubbie used to say. 'Feed your enemies, and they'll become your friends.' Throughout Isabel's childhood, the Johansen household had been full of people coming over, sitting down for a glass of wine or a slice of pie, staying up late, talking and laughing. Bubbie and Grandfather had been determined that she should never feel like an orphan. Except that, despite their efforts, sometimes she had. It wasn't their fault, she reflected as she placed wedges of quiche on plates. There was just something inside her- an urge, a yearning- that made her long to be someone's daughter, not the granddaughter. She never said so, though, not aloud. Yet somehow, they heard her. Somehow, they knew. Perhaps, in the aftermath of Bubbie's final illness and passing, that was why Isabel had become so bound to Bella Vista. Now she couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Her heart resided here, her soul. She still loved having people over, creating beautiful food, watching the passing of the seasons. Even now, with all the trouble afoot and secrets being revealed like the layers of a peeled onion, she found the rhythm of the kitchen soothing.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Susan Wiggs" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/susan-wiggs/isabel-had-always-enjoyed-a-house-full-of-people-feed-your-friends/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7ef/susan-wiggs-3167_bubbie_isabel-had-always-enjoyed-a-house-full-o_364386.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7ef/susan-wiggs-3167_bubbie_isabel-had-always-enjoyed-a-house-full-o_364386.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7ef/susan-wiggs-3167_bubbie_isabel-had-always-enjoyed-a-house-full-o_364386.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Isabel had always enjoyed a house full of people.

In the kitchen, she layered grilled pancetta, tomato and lettuce on toasted thick slabs of sourdough. She added some chopped cornichons, Dijon mustard and fresh snipped tarragon to the mayo, just to show off. Around Bella Vista, her PLT's were legendary. Mac wasn't wearing the robe when he came downstairs. He'd thrown on a pair of lived-in cutoffs, faded in all the right places, and a rumpled but clean T-shirt with a logo from a kiteboarding resort in Australia. She cut the sandwich into quarters and set it on a pottery plate, along with a side of grapes and parmesan chips, and a beer in a frosty mug. He regarded the small feast on the table. \"I hope you don't mind if I moan in ecstasy while I eat this.\" \"I'd rather you didn't,\" she said, helping herself to a quarter of the sandwich. \"Cook's tax,\" she explained.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Susan Wiggs" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/susan-wiggs/is-there-anything-i-can-do-he-gave-her-a-tired-grin-crawl-in-bed-with/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f75/susan-wiggs-3167_flirting_is-there-anything-i-can-do-he-gave-her-a_2068674.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f75/susan-wiggs-3167_flirting_is-there-anything-i-can-do-he-gave-her-a_2068674.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f75/susan-wiggs-3167_flirting_is-there-anything-i-can-do-he-gave-her-a_2068674.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Is there anything I can do?\" He gave her a tired grin. \"Crawl in bed with me.\" She glared at him, then got…” — Susan Wiggs", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Setting out some honey shortbread cookies to go with the lemonade, she flashed on memories of her grandmother, offering refreshments to anyone who was lucky enough to come through the kitchen door.
