    We are celebrating the 104th anniversary of Bette Davis’s birth today with Raisin & Spice Bars! It is also Tomb Sweeping Day in Korea with appropriate quote by James F Byrnes: Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.

    Great one by JFK too: When written in Chinese the word crisis is composed of 2 characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity!
