I just looked up Justin Wilson III, and found out he passed away on Sept. 5, 2001.
I am sorry he is gone, but his humor and liveliness while cooking on that PBS program endeared the man to me. Also to our son.
Our son is a good cook. Read that as 'very good'. He is not afraid to try new things, and I love him for his eccentricities in food. He even conned me out of my set of Graham Kerr cookbooks. (Well, conning isn't the right word. I finally gave in to his hints and gave them to him as a present.)
His coffee however, is another thing. If the spoon doesn't stand straight up and slowly sink as it is dissolving, it is not strong enough. But he has an esspresso machine now, and I love the decaf beans he forages around for me. I am the only one that drinks decaf and that he thinks to provide me with that is very special. Thanks Pete.

Cinderella

On one of my various needlework sites that I have subscribed to in my inbox came this quote out of no where.
I thought on it and think who ever thought it up should get the Pulitzer Prize for everything!
Here it is:

"Cinderella is proof that a new pair of Shoes can change your life! "

Think about it.
We don't live in a fairy tale, but can we apply the references they allude to in our life?
You Bet!
In this case, go out and get a new pair of shoes for Thanksgiving! It will change your life!
"I Gar - own - tee!"
(Thanks to Justin Wilson for the parody on his pronunciation of the word.)
When I find it again, I will give credit to the person that included it in her post.
*****I just found her posting. It is from Vickie in Arkansas on the Mystic Stitch stitching SAL club. Thanks Vickie. It is the loveliest sentiment around.
