Rats and Julia

My Mother the cooking extraordnaire! No folks, she has NO time, but she does it all anyway! Above is one of her first dishes, some fancy potato thing and dieters beware this is not for the faint of heart!

Oh Squishie Baby Kitty...

I went to see this art exhibition, with friends on Thursday:

My Mother is fast becoming a cooking extraordinaire. She is making boston baked beans today in a crock pot, made Duchess potatoes yesterday and last week Julia Child's quintessential Beef Bourguignon.  

Another friend, Ben, heard Mary Roach speak in SF:

I am still in love with TED! Mary Roach on TED:

The world is full of amazing people and amazing things.

Good things are all around:

"I hate flowers. I paint them because they're cheaper then models and they don't move"

-Georgia O'Keeffe

I saw an Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keeffe exhibition over the summer at the SFMOMA in San Fran. O'Keeffe is so famous for her flowers....who knew she hated them.
