Today Jacques Pépin is 90.
He is a great chef. Not because he can juggle while making a perfect hollandaise. We have way too many of those. He has simply mastered the job. Shared his joy and become one of the great teachers of all time.

I try to avoid naming a favorite in a field, especially an art. Besides, I find it extremely difficult. Virginia Woolf taught me a lot. One of the things, was Jane Austen was her muse. I know very little about Jane, except today is the 250th anniversary of her birth, so ... Happy Birthday!

I believe this is a postcard of a Marilyn Monroe sculpture. However, it just occurred to me, it’s anonymous and androgynous enough to make a decent portrait of MFOTUS! So, don’t be shocked if you see this in the White House, sometime soon!!!

This has been a subconscious rule for a long time, for me. Like everything else, please consider it fairly, and do what you can. Thank you.
