Thanks for stopping by and taking time out of your day to read my post.  My intent is to put a smile on your face.  Hopefully you’ll go away with some information you may have forgotten about or did not know.  Now sit back and enjoy the post for the day.

Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher was born in July 1908 in Albion, Michigan.  Her father was determined she would be born July 4th and had planned to name her Independencia but as it was not meant to be she arrived on July 3rd.  So on with my story.  Even at the tender age of 5 she began writing and loved poetry.  Her parents had a vast library and she read from a very early age.  Her pen name was M.F.K. Fisher.  So my question for today is can you tell me what she wrote about? Times up so I can tell you she wrote about food, and travel.  She considered eating was just one of the “arts of life”….  I find that is true as I do love to eat, I think about it all day…..  Enjoy today and happy eating. BTW if you’re interested she had 27 books published…

Now that's an interesting biography James Dray. I now understand why I am slim and trim; I never have read one of M.F.K. Fisher's books!

James Dray,

Love MK Fisher, she called the summer gold of the hills in CA "tawny" hills.  I have always loved that description, and of course being a foodie, I knew about her.  Happy Fourth.  A

I see she wrote the Story of Wine in California in 1962, which I am sure I would love to read. Thank you, James.
