Blog Posts from Joan K.Seattle UndergroundPosted by J.K. Maze May 9 2012, 2:49 pm Some years ago there was a television series about a newspaper reporter who chased down and wrote about bad guys, usually monsters such as vampires and the like. One of the shows took place in the Seattle Underground. Believe me, this story was creep at its best, or should I say worst? Now, just what exactly is “Seattle Underground?” According to Wikipedia: …The Seattle Underground is a network of underground passageways and basements in downtown Seattle, Washington, United States that was ground level at the city’s origin in the mid-19th century. After the streets were elevated these spaces fell into disuse, but have become a tourist attraction in recent decades.
PRESIDENTS’ WIVES – DOLLEY MADISONPosted by J.K. Maze Apr 9 2012, 1:12 am PRESIDENTS’ WIVESDOLLEY MADISONDolley Madison, the wife of the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, was one of the bravest of the wives, and a very interesting woman. She was born Dolley Payne in North Carolina on May 20, 1768 to Quaker parents. Her family moved from North Carolina to a plantation in Scotchtown, Hanover County, Virginia when she was an infant. At age 15, she again relocated with her family to Philadelphia. According to Women in History, “Of the early First Ladies in the United States, Dolley Madison, wife of James Madison, fourth President of the United Abigail AdamsPosted by J.K. Maze Mar 9 2012, 1:14 am ABIGAIL ADAMS Courtesy, Library of Congress (November 11, 1744 – October 28, 1818)Wife of the second President of the United States (served 1797-1801), Abigail Adams is an example of one kind of life lived by women in colonial, Revolutionary and early post-Revolutionary America. While she’s perhaps best known simply as an early First Lady (before the term was used) and mother of another President, and perhaps known for the stance she took for women’s rights in letters to her husband, Abigail Adams should also be known as FDR’S TABLEPosted by J.K. Maze Feb 9 2012, 7:07 am According to the Food Timeline organization, while many of the people were “making do,” some not even that, the president and his wife had no such problem. FDR came from family wealth and tradition while Eleanor, who was social minded, did not have a problem breaking the rules. The Food Timeline Organization says, “Their dinner tables, both public and private, reflected the fact that opposites attract. Confusing, intriguing, well-intentioned, sacrificing, inspired. No one knew what they were going to eat for dinner. Hot dogs served to the Queen of England. Often criticized by period political and culinary experts, FDR’s tables THE PRESIDENT’S TABLE: GEORGE WASHINGTONPosted by J.K. Maze Jan 9 2012, 1:32 am in American History, cooking, George Washington, J.K. Maze, recipes by J. K. Maze As said by the 19th century gastronomer, Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarian (how appropriate that he was French), “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” According to Food Timeline FAQs… “What our presidents eat is a function (of) family heritage, personal preference, physical condition, and social obligation.” Therefore, meals served in the White House are not always the president’s favorite, which might be simple dishes from his childhood.
