Let this be a lesson to all of us. Looks are deceiving.”- General William Tecumseh Sherman talking about General Ulysses S Grant.<br> I have developed my strategy for the approaching holiday buffet tables inspired by General Ulysses S Grant. (I'm listening to the audiobook by Ron Chernow, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Grant-Ron-Chernow/dp/159420487X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510761247&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=grant+book">“Grant”)</a>.<br> I can make everything about food but even I am amazed that I see parallels with General Grant's war tactics!<br> It comes down to strategy and the importance of having one before the holidays (or battle) begins.<br> I have one. I know it works if I execute it.<br> Stay tuned.  I am also taking a hiatus from weekly new podcasts for next few weeks in order to focus my time on my online store and private commissions in order to invigorate my retirement savings.<br> I also will be working on making a free download of my most popular podcast episodes so you can have the links all in one place so you don't have to go hunting. That will be available at the first of the year.<br> I have listened for 24 hours of the 45 hours in the biography of Grant. So, I have been dwelling in 1964 rather than 2017.<br> But, a few headlines have crossed my screen: you know who tweeting that he would never call the leader of North Korea, “short and fat”.  No, apparently, he wouldn't go that low?  I guess it's ok to call women fat, though: Rose O'Donnell, Miss Universe.  Another headline came through about Roy Moore in Alabama. His defenders citing the Bible say that Mary was a teenager when Joseph got together with her. Whaaat? And, finally, one of my favorite comedians, Louis C.K, admitted in an NYTimes article that EVERYTHING the women said he did to them, he, in fact, did.  Good grief. Sigh. I guess admitting it is better than the other two but the net effect?<br> I am happy to be returning to 1864,  I'll await Appotomax.<br> And, hopefully, it can happen again.<br> <br> I'll be making more of an appearance (a couple of times a week)  on my Facebook page (I am learning how to broadcast a Facebook Live) during this hiatus so come over and check it out.  Click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/artofthediet">here.</a><br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/artofthediet">www.facebook.com/artofthediet </a><br> www.artofthediet.com/118<br> If you'd like to support this podcast and also buy artful gefts for under $50, consider eggplant coasters!<br> <br> <br> /**/<br> <br>  <br> <a href="https://gardenshop.thephotogardener.com">https;//gardenshop.thephotogardener.com</a><br>
