My sons are always teasing me about my “cronies” – they insist that there is no passerby that I don’t consider a friend.  That’s not exactly true, but I do love people and I particularly love children.  Recently Steve and I have had the great fortune to have some little ones come into our lives and one of my favorites is 8 year old Bennett who lives down the block.  His mom, Deena, saw my blog posting about pizza on the grill and somehow got me to agree to amble down the street and make pizza on her backyard grill (an unusual opportunity in NYC).  Bennett was excited to host a “pizza party” in his backyard and his excitement made the evening.  I’m not sure that he loved my pizza, but for the evening he loved me enough to share his dessert package of Twinkies with me – a taste thrill that I had not experienced in, at the least, 60 years.
