Julia's Child, published by Plume/Penguin, is a book about organic food, and growing food, and feeding food to small wiggly people who don't always appreciate it.  This blog celebrates those same things, but also green living. And coffee.  And sometimes wine with little bubbles in it.

104 Year Old Cookie Sold at Auction

DateOctober 6

My enduring fascination with food in culture meant that this LA Weekly blog post caught my eye. A single biscuit produced for the Earnest Shackleton adventure to Antarctica was sold at Christies, for 1250 British pounds, or nearly $2000.

And people say organic food is expensive!

Come on! I need to know who bought that cookie. That's one crazy story.
