When I was on vacation eating all that delicious seafood, some of it was served with a burre blanc, which is French for white butter sauce. It was so good that I think we should all learn how to make it. This is Julia Child’s recipe, therefore foolproof if you do exactly what it says.
The Cooke family is happy to report our father, Bill, who wrangled words on these pages for 60-plus years, is doing very well after hip replacement surgery. I’ve been staying in Rockdale while brother Kyle takes a much-needed and well-deserved break on our family’s favorite vacation spot, Galveston Island.
Action Comics introduced Superman in 1938. The radio adaptation, “The Adventures of Superman,” began broadcasting in 1940 with this now famous opening: “Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! Yes, it’s Superman —strange visitor from the planet Krypton who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who can leap tall buildings in a single bound, race a speeding bullet to its target, bend steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way.”
If you have ever seen me you can tell I’m not a foodie. My favorite food group is sugar. I could live on Dr. Pepper and candy, preferably chocolate candy. I used to have a little coffee with my sugar. One year on Father’s Day the Blonde bought me donuts for breakfast, made French Toast for lunch and then made cinnamon rolls for dinner.
