#13 Make It with You (Bread) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes🪄
Dreams, they’re for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you’re wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl🪄
No, you don’t know me well
In every little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And we’ll see it through🪄
Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one I’d like to help me through
I’d like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl🪄
Baby, you know that dreams, they’re for those who sleep
Life, it’s for us to keep
And if I chose the one I’d like to help me through
I’d like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

Cooking as Art: Creative Discoveries in The Kitchen

“The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star.”

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (Lawyer & Former Deputy of the French National Assembly; April 1st, 1755 to February 2nd, 1826)

“Few of us have enjoyed the thrill of mounting a one-woman show of our art. But all of us can put on an apron. Tonight, instead of thinking of dinner as just another obligation, think of it as an opportunity for jump-starting your creativity. Cooking is one of the best ways for your authentic self to remind your conscious self that you are an artist. Like the union of canvas and pigment, cooking alchemy, a work of Wholeness-in-progress.”

“… you can never re-create the past. But you can shape your own future. And you can make a cake.”

Jacqueline Deval (Author; ~1960)

“Since I am able to follow a recipe pretty well, I can make cake!”
