This post was inspired by Kathy Streib  post about being politically correct when it comes to Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.As most of you know I love to cook, and I will speak my mind without jeopardizing potential clients. My honest conversations are appreciated by potential clients when it comes to buying land in the greater Los Angeles Area.Well, my mother bought probably fifty years ago Uncle Ben's rice and loved it. She kept the container and after my parents passed, I kept the container and use it for my utensil holders. Talk about ironies in life most of you know that it is politically incorrect to say or buy "Uncle Ben's rice" !  I have not bought rice from this company in decades, the other day Ralph's had so many "points" that I have not used so what should I do before t... 12/05/2023

Today, we visited Vroman's one of our favorite bookstores in Pasadena, CA... no, we did not go to the Wine Bar, but I did manage to get another cookbook.Not sure, but if I counted right, I would be very close to having this as number 100. I need to have a recount count. Last time I counted I did not include the ones in my home office that I am in the middle of always reading. Hence Diane graciously reminded me today: "...another cookbook..."? Told her there are three recipes she would love. Needless to say, on the way home she asked about it and let her know.In case you are wondering it is called "From the Oven to The Table".
