[ ep 13.v ] ridiculous sadness of the foodies

So... you want to be a foodie? [ episode 13 ] bubble dad presents: zucchini casserole!

greetings gentle viewers, our unintentional hiatus is over and we've been working hard at producing more video of the caliber which you've come to expect from the Invincibles, and we're sending it straight to you, our pals. this video features super special guest chef: my Mom, presenting an old family recipe specifically requested by my pops: bubbleDad
(we affectionately refer to him as such because of his multple stints in john-travolta-boy-in-the-bubble-like isolation during transplant recovery) zucchini and tomato casserole is an all time favorite with my family, and the preparations for it are captured on tape for the first time here. we shot it while we were visiting over the holidays, and managed to edit it while we were visiting again this past week. unfortunately, the fates have been doing their best to kick out the rest of the Invincibles teeth lately, and we're doing our best to choke them down gracefully... since this footage was obtained, bubbleDad has spent five times as much time in the hospital as he has at home, due to myriad complications. you can get hip to all the gorey details, if you are so inclined. anyway, for those of you who may not be aware, visiting your sick father in the hospital is not exactly condusive to an expedient post-production schedule; as a result, this video is just about one day too late, and is now presented in dedication to the ever loving memory of bubbleDad - he died, peacefully and quietly at home, in my Mom's arms, with his children and grandchildren nearby. He will be missed.

i almost forgot - if it weren't for the pesky prerequisite of being dead, I would be trying to nominate my sister Jori for sainthood. she put the rest of her life on hold to be here and serve as our father's hospice nurse. she is generous and wonderful and posesses a quiet strength, the likes of which i very rarely see. i love her dearly and our whole family is lucky to have her.

it's ridiculously sad - we love our bubbleDad! send comments to foodie@theinvincibles.org
