New Year; New Site

I thought along with the new year, I'd kick off the welcome of a new website! Yeah, I know. I just did one at the start of this blog. Yeah, get used to it. I create websites to fit to my stage in life, to use and hone my skills and imagination, and keep my mind organized. I find my webpage can be a reflection of my mind. If it's a mess, I feel like a mess and vise versa.

Some kinks, and some dead links...EmilyJayne.com

Panacea

In Greek mythology, Panacea was the goddess of healing. She was the daughter of Asclepius, god of medicine, and the granddaughter of Apollo, god of healing (among other things).

Panacea was said to have a poultice or potion with which she healed the sick. This brought about the concept of the panacea in medicine. 'Panace' is also the term for heal-all herbs, and an Asterix character.

The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry

Just finished The Sharper Your Knife, The Less you Cry by Kathleen Flinn. A true story of food, romance, Paris and a lifelong dream: a degree from famed Le Cordon Bleu culinary school.

Here's the publisher's description from Kathleen's website:

In 2003, Kathleen Flinn, a thirty-six-year-old American living and working in London, returned from vacation to find that her corporate job had been eliminated. Ignoring her mother's advice that she get another job immediately or "never get hired anywhere ever again," Flinn instead cleared out her savings and moved to Paris to pursue a dream-a diploma from the famed Le Cordon Bleu.

The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is the touching and remarkably funny account of Flinn's transformation as she moves through the school's intense program and falls deeply in love along the way. Flinn interweaves more than two dozen recipes with a unique look inside Le Cordon Bleu amid battles with demanding chefs, competitive classmates, and her "wretchedly inadequate" French. Flinn offers a vibrant portrait of Paris, one in which the sights and sounds of the city's street markets and purveyors come alive in rich detail.

The ultimate wish fulfillment book, her story is a true testament to pursuing a dream. Fans of Julie & Julia, My LIfe in France, and Eat, Pray, Love will be amused, inspired, and richly rewarded by this seductive tale of romance, Paris, and French food. (OK, so that's what my publisher says...)
