About Me
- dragonmom
- A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.

We're fine. Thanks for asking. Situation is becoming critical around Iowa, though.
Since you posted today I assume you survived. How are the surrounding areas?
Eileen, Iowa is a mess. ALL of Iowa. Towns all over are underwater. Hospitals, businesses, all manner of things shut. No water, no power, for some, nowhere to go.
We're fine here. High above the flood waters and have an ample stock of foodstuffs. We can live without power and would figure something out for water.
