Switchin' In the Kitchen...

As a self-proclaimed "foodie" it would be remiss of me not to mention cooking!! As a child I had dreams like many little girls of being a mother and a wife, I wanted to be the 'June Cleaver' type of woman. Upon entering adolescence those dreams had changed quite a bit as I became familiar with women's lib. and there was no way I was going to be 'slaving' over a hot stove every day!! My remedy for that was to be a single woman who sat at home eating chinese take-out every night!

Fast forward a few years ahead and I realized that as a young woman (who loves food) take out every night was NOT going to cut it. I set out on a quest: Learn to Cook!!! I searched high and low for a cookbook that would be a good fit for me and then one day while reading Vibe Vixen (which is no longer in print *tear*) I found just what I was looking for! 'The Get 'Em Girls Guide to Unlocking the Power of Cuisine' by Shakara Bridges. I urge every woman who wants to learn to cook or just add some new recipes to their collection to get this book! You not only get fabulous recipes but tips on wine pairing and stocking your kitchen are also included! Are you a Get 'em Girl?? I AM!!

My dear Marilyn

Marilyn, oh Marilyn!! As you may have read in my 'welcome' message Marilyn Monroe is an inspiration to me. I am like most people attracted to her ability to make elegance seem effortless. I imagine what it must have been like to be her friend, to be her shopping buddy or in this virtual world what it would be like to get an IM from her..lol!

Well one day, while I was out shopping I came across the cutest book all about our girl Marilyn (and get this only $5.00), 'Images of Marilyn Monroe' by Parragon!!!!! My heart swooned as my eyes looked over the cover. I wanted to stand in the store and flip through each page but I resisted the urge because a good find like this deserved more delicate attention. Instead I rushed home, curled up on the couch with a pint of my favorite Haagen Dazs and indulged myself!!! This book not only gives you pics of Marilyn you also get some great background information about her life!!!!
