So Bono ripped her off in 'Until the End of the World' when he says, "in my dream, i was drowning my sorrows, but my sorrows, they learned to swim".

Nice Kahlo quote. She rules and was a great artist. From great art comes great joy.....

"Frida's Fiestas Recipes and Reminiscences of Life with Frida Kahlo"

Clarkson Potter Publishers, New York

I love, love, love this book.

Written by Frida Kahlo's and Diego Rivera's family members it was put together with an attention to detail that only a loving family can do.

The pictures show their relationship, their affection for each other and the pictures of the food are amazing, the recipes are wonderful and are grounded in family and Mexican culinary history.

This book has been on my kitchen counter for nearly twenty years and the paper is of such high quality that it feels new every time I open it up.

My friend from Mexico City, now sadly gone, had a saying that translated to: "A good life is the best revenge" (el bien vivir es la mejor reganza???? something like that but not sure) Can't remember the exact Spanish but the last sip of his favorite tequilla still sits in our place in Borrego Springs.
