Glory poured champagne since Robynn and Juniper were underage. Instead of buffet style, this time they served full plates. Not a quarter hour into the reception, Robynn gave Glory a panicked look. “Mrs. S. They’re asking for seconds. We’re not going to have enough food.”

“More bread,” Glory said, and raced into the kitchen, where she microwaved four frozen loaves of sourdough bread and sliced them raggedly. She sent two trays out with Juniper, along with bottles of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sprigs of rosemary, since the butter was gone. “Start up the music and encourage dancing,” she said, and was about to bake another two dozen cookies when she remembered Halle’s good-for-brunch, lunch, midnight-snack, and main-dish recipe she made every Easter: Chile Egg Puff. Glory took out this week’s bowls of eggs meant for the co-op and five cans of New Mexican green chile she’d bought mail order. She’d begun buying cheese already grated, to save time, and all she needed now was flour, baking powder, and salt. She filled her largest casserole dish and set it in the oven to bake. In forty-five minutes, the warm puff would be perfect after the dancing, and before the cake. She’d send them on the road home feeling well fed and as if they’d never enjoyed themselves more, and hurrying to recommend the chapel to all their friends.
