Dandi Discovery !

Zim'sOnly God could take a  despoiled weed and turn it into an oblation!  What most of us consider a nefarious lawn annoyance in reality the dandelion is a multi-talented blessed little plant!  There seems no end to its charity!  The dandelion has a long medicinal history going as far back to the 10th century Arabian physicians leading all the way to the Germans who brought it over to America for its nutritionally rich benefits!

Queen of Cuisine , Julia Child !

Julia Child’s reassembled kitchen in the Smithsonian’s Museum Of American History in Washington DC, displays a quote we should all take to heart!  “I was thirty-two when I started cooking up until then I just ate”.  The obvious lesson here is that its never to late to follow your dreams and  given talents.   Julia Child courageously found her calling and served up a road map for success we can all easily follow.  Julia’s  recipe for life , love and food is being honored in a new movie coming out next week.  I’m very excited she will be reintroduced to a new generation!  Bon Appetit!!
