Sunday, April 1, 2012. After realizing that neither Adam or I had contributed to this blog for exactly one year, I found it fitting to write about our dinner last night, which involved a new spin on the classic culinary combination of beets and goat cheese. 1 pound red beets, cleaned.

When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and neighborhoods? Will what happened in the cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congress? When the surf of centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will still be standing, because it is a celestial institution.
