About MAL’s Blog
The Lady Who Lunches started as a simple concept - Me, the American lady, traveled to England to live with my boyfriend, the Englishman and became a lady of leisure - i.e. "a lady who lunches." Since this lady can't sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time, I wrote a novel. A year and a half passed and we're now back in the United States. Next adventure - traveling for two months around the states, selling novel, finding apartment, job and moving to Chicago.-

Fully Assimilated?
It’s come to that point. It’s come to that point where I don’t remember what I used to say in America, and what I began saying when I got here in England. The words, the sayings, the colloquialisms, the phrases … Continue reading
The American Dream from an Englishman’s POV
Saturday night, I went out for dinner with the Mather’s and the Mather’s dad. The Mather’s are friends of ours who got married last summer. After two bottles of wine, we got to talking about the health reform bill, America … Continue reading

Turkey for Twenty Four
I have signed up to do another half marathon. The Bath Half. Eek. Somehow, this is in no way as frightening to me as the prospect of cooking an entire turkey for 24 people. 24!! Ten plus ten plus four! … Continue reading
