#NovemberNarrative

When I think of #DayOfTheDead I think of Frida Kahlo & this cookbook from my collection that has a big section with recipes for a Dia De Los Muertos gathering. 💀

#FallTreasures

I used to go to the local thrift store on the regular to look for books & blog photo props, but I got out of the habit with COVID. So this is an older #ThriftStoreFind & a recycled picture from Instagram. I love the tagged cookbook which is full of food & parties & photos & glimpses of Frida Kahlo‘s life from her stepdaughter‘s perspective.

#MagicalMay #CincoDeMayo

I did not do any celebrating of Cinco de Mayo today in food or drink but if I did, I would have made something from one of these cookbooks. My shelves have several of Rick Bayless‘s & Diana Kennedy‘s cookbooks—these two are just representative, the tagged book is a favorite thrift store purchase & Oaxaca is a newer book I received last fall as part of a cookbook review. 🌮🌯ðŸ®ðŸ¹ðŸ˜

Eggs 😋🤤 yum 4y

"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"

"I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you."

I bought this after being so awestruck by this woman, her life, and art when the Detroit Institute of Arts had an exhibit of her work. She epitomizes "though she be little, she is fierce".

#AllHallowsRead I have a book & cookbook (+ a mug!) that feature Dia de Muertos. In The Secret Book of Kahlo, the specter of death comes to Frida often & several chapters mention the Day of the Dead. Frida's Feasts has notes from her stepdaughter on the traditions, Frida's preparations & a menu including recipes like Dead Man's Bread & some for her mother's favorite dishes, served in her honor, as well as photos of the alter for Frida. 💀

LeahBergen I've been wanting that cookbook for ages! (It looks like you need the bookmark that I posted today to go with it! 😉) 8y
DebinHawaii @LeahBergen Hah! I just looked and yes, I need your bookmark. Thank goodness for Frida today for this photo challenge! ðŸ‘📚 8y

Blueberry Ha! I'm reading about Frida Kahli and her husband Diego Rivera in The Lacuna right now. Side note: Some years back when I taught art to homeschoolers, we visited a Frida Kahlo exhibit in San Francisco. Very cool. She lived her life with alot of pain in her back from a bus accident (I think it was). 8y
ApoptyGina69 I adore Frida! I have never seen this cookbook. I have many examples of her art and image around my house. 8y
DebinHawaii @Blueberry Yes, she had a very fascinating life--so talented!- and a lot of pain from the bus accident for sure. @ApoptyGina69 I got lucky- I wanted it from Amazon & the local thrift store had a copy for $5. I snapped it up. It is filled with lots of her artwork and memories from her stepdaughter. 👠8y

Local thrift store is starting to freak me out. Last month they had 'Scarlet Feather' June/July Cook the Books (virtual bookclub) pick. Today found this to go w/ Aug/Sept's: 'The Secret Book of Frida Kahlo.' How do they know what I want/need? Hope it doesn't turn into a 'Needful Things' situation
