Cookbooks, Restaurants and Everything in Between
Since my birthday is two weeks after the 4th, I get to celebrate the 4th as well as my birthday in the month of July, two of my favorite days in the Summer.
Since I didn’t see this question until afterwards I will rewrite something for my birthday and share today what I miss about my 4th of July celebrations. Continue reading “An Old Time 4th of July!”
You just inherited $1,000,000 from an aunt you didn’t even know existed. What’s the first thing you buy (or otherwise use the money for)?
I think that all of us have had this silly dream that somehow we would wind up inheriting loads of money from some relative we never knew we had. I have to admit that it would be nice and would take so much worry out of my life that I could finally just breath.
If I were to fantasize something like this, I will have to admit the very first thing on my list would be this:
It’s a loft home in the neighborhood I live in that I have drooled over for the past 5 years, from the first moment I walked into the show house it felt right, it felt like home. To me it looks like a modern day Flintstones mansion and I love the slick lines and the sharp edges. The only thing different I may buy two of them and combine them so I can enlarge the kitchen and dining areas. So every Sunday we would have Sunday dinners at my place, an no matter what time you come around you would find something good cooking or baking away. I want this home to be filled with lots of good food and love a place that when my end comes my grandchildren will have fond memories of all the good things that came out of grandmas house. So yes that house would be my very first thing I would buy with my new wealth. Continue reading “Gone with the Windfall”
Unsafe Containers: Which emotion(s) —joy, envy, rage, pity, or something else — do you find to be the hardest to contain?
Today, just another day to recuperate from ankle surgery has turned into a day filled with sadness, a sadness that has morphed into anger within my heart and spirit. This sadness and anger comes from deep within the spirit of the woman I am, for you see the woman was created to be a nurturer, a helper (I’m pissing somebody off right now). So when I see or hear of an injustice, when I see or hear of someone causing pain to the children my heart weeps and screams to understand why.

Three Hundred years from now if anyone should happen to put me up for a saint ship, I would like to go down as the Saint of Food. Food you say, but of course food, the one thing that everyone enjoys, the one thing that can be good or bad depending on when and where. The one thing that brings people together, even the last supper was about the food and what it mean for each person sitting there the last time with their friend and savior.
My baby sister once said about me, that “I love to feed people, that it was my passion.” She’s right, I love good food and I love to cook and bring people together. Whether it’s food for a party to celebrate life or food to celebrate a death, food makes it all come together. I guess that’s why my pet project is to help in the creation of a soup kitchen offered through my father’s church to even bring together those who don’t know when or where their next meal will come from, bring them together to relax and savor not just the company but the flavors of a well prepared meal created just for them.
My passion is food, to teach people about good food, to learn to take time out to enjoy a meal and to come together in worship or peace at a well-prepared table. So yes I would be known as Prince Patron Saint of Food.
