"She's more stunning in person then her FanStory..." typo -- "than", not "then"
"I just gained ten pounds listening to you," Debbie said. -- hahaha -- I want to know why I wasn't invited! (*grin*)
"(That's because Graham and I are eating with FanStory royalty.)" -- okay, I'll go along with that, BIGtime!

Hello, John,
I bet Sandra and Debbie are pleased for the wonderful tribute. I miss Sandra already. She is the kindest lady you can find. I pray for her and hope to see her back soon. I didn't know Debbie is leaving permanently... that's so sad. I like her too. Well done, my friend.
Well done!

I actually liked the continuation of your story better, it's funnier, especially the dialog between Graham and Sandra. I'm surprised John was still able to cook after all of that rum....
Graham paused a moment messaging his temples as his head was pounding like a jackhammer breaking concrete = massaging
We'd weren't expecting company." = no d here
You're so easy to speak about, mi amore." = amore mio, mi amor is Spanish, and I've never heard anyone say (I used to live in Italy)
Graham quickly stood, took a step and as quick as he stood, = as quickly as
"Shush. Here let me help you stand. = Here,
Unfortunately, Sandra failed to see Grahams humor and told him he's treading in some deep waters = Graham's, he was treading
"I see you two are getting along and getting to know each other I presume? Sandra inquired. = ?" Sandra inquired
Perhaps, seeing as you're using the Italian words anyway, you also want to say rucola instead of arugula?
You might consider changing your last sentence to Sarà perché io e Graham....
Insomma, buon lavoro! Well then, great job!

I recently ate, and I'm hungry again. I smell garlic on the wind. I am a Southern cook, but I can appreciate anything done well. This was a clever idea. This was presented well.

John, that was a marvelous tribute to both Sandra and Debbie. I know we will see Sandra from time to time which I'm happy about. We go back a long time. But Debbie is leaving for good. I'm not happy about that. Poor Graham was nursing the king of a hangover. Ulla:)))

Marvelous, John...though Graham may not be too happy until the headache is gone. And inviting Debbie to share in the fun and the cooking, what a generous surprise from you to them. I simply loved the entire story. the numourous was fabulous and the food ....divine!

That was fabulous! The meal was molto delizioso! or 'muy delicioso!' in Spanish. (I had this picture of you dressed with nothing but your chef coat!! LOL. (Sorry, perhaps I shouldn't have laughed?) I loved this, John, and I'm sure Debbie did as well. It wasn't as far for her to come to visit me. But I'm sure she would have travelled from the other side of the world for this delicous meal. It made my mouth water just reading it. I told Graham he must now try to cook it as well as you did. :))
Thank you so much, my dear friend, they say laughter is the best medicine and I agree. Oh, but please don't make Graham drunk again, he now has the worst headache and saying it's all your fault! Of course I don't believe him, he loved to have a drink with a friend, and he now regards you as one of his best! Love you lots, my dear friend. Thank you. Sandra xxx

Well, of all the fond farewells of note, this is by far the one I enjoyed the best, and even without the noted Stout portfolio on the right, having a recipe written within would have given away who the author was. You will forever be remembered for your kindness, friend.

Lol. Something different in this one. Love the concept and how delightful to celebrate the skills of two wonderful poets and writers. Love the menu and of course the two finger rum. All the best for the future.
