WHOO HOO!! It’s FRIDAY and am also E-X-C-I-T-E-D about this week’s Foodie Friends Friday #Recipes That Tell a Story!
I LOVE hearing stories behind foods, ingredients and recipes like I shared recently with Shinbone Traditional Chinese #Soup Base which brought back memories of my childhood in China town in New York City! 
I believe one lives in the moment, appreciates the past and hopes for the future!
I was thinking of my dad the other day, as I often do.
My parents photo is smiling next to me near the computer and I know they smile down on me from the heavens above.
As my 50th birthday nears, I remember a conversation my dad and I had when I was turning 40.
P.S. Age never bothers me and EVERY birthday I celebrate I am still alive!
My dad said I could not possible be turning 40, because like Jack Benny ( a famous American comedian) he was only 39!
For those who may be unfamiliar with Jack Benny, while “in character”, his age was always 39, regardless of his actual age.
My dad and I shared the same sense of humor; I LOVED to hear him laugh; I can STILL hear his laughter to this day! 
I LOVE hearing Foodie Friends Friday #Recipes That Tell a Story…YOU?
This week, I shared Lost and Found Dad’s Saint and Sinner Birthday Cake.
This cake will have to do until my birthday arrives; coming soon!
