Spices, Kind Hearts, Alabama & Quaker Potlucks Last November when it was suggested that a certain Spice Company be banned because of liberal standings, I knew exactly what to get my -in-law for X-mas. #45 won the election - the Women's March on Washington was organized and the Spice company offered Kind Heart Pins for all of the Marchers. I received a box of pins via UPS which I distributed to all the women on the Rally Bus. Suddenly this company has gained a new customer - me. I have never been a domestic goddess but my cooking is so much better with the spices. The Dali Lama advises to visit someplace that you have never been at least once a year. Philadelphia is still on my bucket list. I also have plans to tour Kentucky and visit all the 12 Step Meetings on the Bourbon Trail. I never expected to land in Birmingham Alabama for 2017. The Southern Appalachian Yearly Meeting and Association of the Religious Society of Friends - had their representatives meeting in Birmingham so I ended up in Birmingham. It did not fit the stereotype of what I thought Birmingham would be. There is much more cultural diversity than I expected. I was expecting it to be like West Virginia which has limited diversity. What a historically significant place for the civil rights era. I would have loved to stayed longer and explore but I was off to Atlanta for the birth of my first grandchild. We did go to an Epithopean Restaurant and it gave me an excellent ideal for our next Quaker Potluck. The Entire Pot luck will be placed on top of teff bread. Utensils optional. I will pick up the teff grain in Atlanta which has far more diversity than West Virginia. I will be able to experiment with all those marvelous spices that the conservatives told me not to buy. Life is good.     Abracadabra  |
