- My copy of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child has arrived from the used book seller. Always intending to get a copy, the inspiration to finally order came in the form of the book and film "Julie and Julia." I like this one with its tattered cover, a sign that it was well used.- The way the scent of eggs cooking mingles with the smell of coffee brewing - making the house smell good all day.
- Finding myself in the unusual position of scheduling visiting preachers for our church without a pastor, a delightful email reply from an invitee, "Greetings from Palestine! Salaam in Christ." He is a Palestinian American Presbyterian preacher and is in Palestine and Jerusalem on a peacekeeping mission.

Mmmmmmm....coffee and eggs.
Something about that combined aroma that really takes you to a whole other realm of relaxation.

I know. And the sizzle of a little butter in there doesn't hurt either! :)
1) The cookbook: Now I want to come over for lunch!! And...you're making me hungry!
2) I love the smell of coffee and eggs...and bacon...
3) A greeting from Palestine - how awesome! I wish you well in what sounds like a transition at your church. We're in the process of having our pastor retire in Sept...and I'm sure there will be challenges in the transition that ensues.
Lance -
You are welcome anytime - I'll make you some meatloaf. There is a recipe for it in Mastering the Art.. :)
Bacon - love it, but it sure makes a mess.
Yes - a bit of a transition and it is odd that I find myself with so much responsibility. But it's all good - hopefully a pastor will come along soon. I am also on the search committee. Heavy sigh. :)
I love a book with history... You'll be making some fabulous dishes, Lynn!
Two smells always get my tummy rumbling - the smell of fresh brewed coffee and frying onions.
I'm laughing - "Palestinian American Presbyterian" sounds like a wicked tongue twister. It sounds like you're going to have some interesting sermons coming up, Lynn!
Talon -
Coffee brewing is a delicious smell - I can hardly think of anything to beat it except for maybe onions frying. Yum.
I can imagine making something like the potato soup from the book, but not beef aspic. Ick.
That is a tongue twister! He will be here on World Missions Sunday - a perfect fit for a peacekeeper.
I would love to travel to Palestine, not sure if I ever will.
I must see Julie and Julia, funny I mentioned it on my blog a week or so ago, but never have even read the book, boo hoo.
I like bacon for breakfast.
Jannie -
I know - I would love to travel to Palestine and the Holy Land. The next message I got from Fahed was a greeting from Jerusalem the next day.
Hey - I'm almost finished with Julie and Julia - I'll send it to you. Part of the traveling book club!
