Moonlight and Menopause

We went to see Julie and Julia at the movies today. Julia Child was such a magnificent woman. I used to LOVE watching her on TV. I was so inspired when I came home tonight that I added extra cheese to the hamburger helper for dinner. I even served it with some "French" green beans! Bon Appetit!

Actually, I do love to cook now that I am older, but momma was the cook in the family! Oh, how I miss walking through the door after a long day of work to smell her cooking. I don't care how bad the day was; when the aroma of her cooking came wafting up your nose, every nerve ending suddenly relaxed. She could take the cheapest, toughest piece of beef and turn it into beef tenderloin! To think, she cooked like that (seven days a week!) raised three children, kept an immaculate home, AND lived with my father. Somebody needs to contact the Vatican...she really should be a candidate for Sainthood! I'll NEVER measure up!

I can't really get into cooking down here in the summer. It is just too darn hot! The last vestiges of sunlight passed over Southwest Florida four hours ago and it's STILL in the 80's. The best thing you can make down here in the summer are reservations.

Well, it's getting late and I have a date with the moonlight!
