the first

after much encouragement from friends and husband, here it is.  the first post.  as i move increasingly farther south, i am farther away from friends and family.  so here is my attempt to keep in touch.  here are some tales of the kitchen, books read, life in miami, and babes underfoot.my brother started out his blog “with a little help from grace jones.”  to which i wondered, “what…grace jones??”  and since i can only think of her in context of conan, i am evidently supposed to summon help from “conan the destroyer” spirits to bless the birth of my blog.  so be it. i’ll bypass tracey walter and go straight to the man himself.
