People Do Read Creative Women's Blog

It's true; I got an email from Bailey Barash, the Producer of "Fried Chicken and Sweet Potato Pie", the documentary about Edna Lewis.  Bailey pointed out that the link to the video, in my last blog, didn't work.  So here it is again  ... http://www.gourmet.com/magazine/video/2008/01/Edna.  Spend 20 minutes learning about a fascinating woman, Edna Lewis.  She grew up in the rural, poor South, moved to the North, became an acclaimed chef and cookbook writer, and looks like a most elegant and classy women.  I wished I had met her, but am delighted to have this 6 or 8 degrees of separation with her.
