Starlight In Her Eyes: The Birthday Pie And Not The Birthday Cake

The Birthday Pie And Not The Birthday Cake

Our birthday celebrant LBB is not a cake fan so I decided to bake him his favorite lattice apple pie. If it were the cherry season, it would have been a cherry pie for him. Here it is!

Taken of good note: In the mail today came a gift certificate for LBB worth $100.00 for a dinner at Joe Dimaggio, our neighborhood Italian joint, managed by the family of the late Joe Dimaggio, ex-husband of Marilyn Monroe.

BTW, known Hollywood director, Francis Ford Coppola is cooking for a dinner party in our parish. It is a fund raiser and a plate is $150.00 per head. Wanna try it? Come by!

Hollywood stars who have grew up here in our North Beach neighborhood: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Francis Ford Coppola and Nicolas Cage- to mention a few. Robert De Niro owns a vineyard in Napa Valley, an hour's drive from San Francisco.

Pizzicatto's Little Learning Corner*

1. Knowledge is power. It is your great equalizer to those who insult you, hurt, condemn or envy you. But with it comes challenges. Be confident.

2. Having a peace of mind is a wonderful gift from Above. No money can give you peace. Your conscience does that in harmony with yourself- mind, body and soul.

3. To have a number of good friends whom you can count on by the fingers is handy to have. So work on your PR skills as a prelude.

4. Never let a day pass by without saying the grace. Whatever you have now can one day melt away. Don't be uptight and selfish,

5. Life is all about affirmation and sharing. Of love. Wealth. Faith. Hope. And charity. It is like networking with nature and God. You talk it out, positivity to the maxim.

6. In the end, health matters most. Once you are ill, problematic, or in the verge of death, your success and social position are nothing more than just trimmings to check on how your value system works. Your strength diminishes you by the hour, minutes and seconds. If you are set to go fast, all comes easy. If not, you suffer mostly. Pray you don't have a lot of pain. You can manage that by starting your life to have a strong moral compass. Have faith. Be humble. Be nice. Do you have faith apart from yourself? That, you have to ask yourself now.

Blessings!
