Words Matter
American’s Mission Statement read by Senator John F. Kennedy On July 4th we celebrate the birth of the American Experiment. The Declaration of Independence — written in the Spring of 1776 by a 33 year old Thomas Jefferson — is America’s mission statement. And like all mission statements, the words represented not what we were, but what we aspired to be.
The Secret Life of Cookies
At The Secret Life of Cookies we know that kitchens are the heart of the home. They’re where families come together, where food comes from and where some of the best conversations take place. Kitchens are where the power is (even nasty President Jackson with his “kitchen cabinet” thought so), and where the baked goods are, which is why Marissa Rothkopf, the host, spends so much time in the kitchen. On The Secret Life of Cookies we will bring you into those conversations with some smart, interesting people who like to cook and have something to say. Pull up a chair up at our kitchen table, and join us as we cook and discuss the important issues of today.
