Men vs. Women

Hosted by Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers

To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a ”home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted COOKING as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes about Books

Hosted by Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers

I cannot live without books.
The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.
I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family, and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.

~Thomas Jefferson

Jean Jacques Rousseau, Marion Cunningham and Monday Musings

Hosted by Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers

In every city dweller there is a displaced yearning for the rustic farm and land, the taste of the homegrown, all the natural foods. The paradox is that we do want authentic country flavors and integrity, but we do not seek the discomforts of the simple life, so we rediscover regionalism vicariously amid modern convenience and luxury.
~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 18th century Philosopher

It is somehow both alarming and consoling to know that Rousseau wrote these words over two hundred years ago. I think the best cure for this separation is home cooking. Looking for and buying raw ingredients, handling and preparing them in your familiar kitchen, and then eating at your own kitchen table will daily restore a feeling of connection with the natural world.
~Marion Cunningham, cook book author
