I WAS THINKING…
about the beautiful floats in the recent Rose Bowl Parade. I can’t even imagine what it took to have it so organized. Every year I’m overwhelmed and find it hard to believe the floats are actually made-up of all living material such as grass, seeds, leaves and mostly flowers. But seeing is believing. I have a fond memory of once sitting in the stands and being only a few feet to see and smell the splendor as the floats paraded pass.
Millions of people were tuned in to enjoy this parade. For a couple hours or so, all these people were enjoying fun together, all at the same time, without an issue of race, politics or gender. Now that was a good way to start the new year.

FOOD TIPS
(Taken from Easy Does It)
A pinch of sugar makes cooked tomato recipes less bitter and brings out flavor.
Need just a few broccolis or cauliflower florets for recipe, buy them from the supermarket salad. Saves waste and preparation time.
Brown sugar becomes hard? Add a soft piece of bread in plastic bag to soften.
Revitalize rubbery celery by cutting into stalks, then store in container with enough water to cover.
