Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

An Oily Kind of Day!


Whether baking, cooking (especially frying), or garnishing, there are a diverse number of different oils available. A question often arising is which one to select? Of course, the answer is totally dependent upon the exact purpose, which begs yet another question: Is the food to be baked, fried, sautéed, seared, stir-fried? Perhaps the oil is to be used in a marinade or even a salad dressing. There are occasions where an "anointing oil" is to be used as a garnish. In this case, it only takes a few drops of the best oil to go a log way. Whichever oil or oils you have on hand, get ready for an oily kind of day! 

October 25 is...
