And speaking of hot, doesn't this book cover

| ...I have taught myself the recipes of my mother's people because these foods are for me as a chef, the easiest connections to the mysteries of who my mother was. Her identity remains stubbornly shrouded in the past, so I feed myself and the people I love the food that she made. But I can not see her face... from the book Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson |

Maybe I should have titled this post "old lady wears old things"? Don't answer that. ;)

| My nieces EJ, Lil Bug, and nephew JJ. When they were at the zoo, a stranger was trying to get her child to smile and kept saying cheese. JJ thought she was talking to him and he did it, well not in the above photo. That one was taken months ago. |

..."I thumb through the pictures,
And know them all.
They said, "Do you remember when you saw her last"
I said, "Her skin is cinnamon,
Her skin is cinnamon."

Some are collectors, some keep it straight,
It was a hospital,
I was delirious,
I clung to the stretcher
And drew them a heart."... Cinnamon by The Long Winters
