If Aristotle Cooked: on International Women's Day

The wonderful Jane Stranz at her blog "Of life, laughter and liturgy . . ." has three posts today on profound recipes for health and on the importance of cooking to writing.  As she points out, it's International Women's Day today and that's worth celebrating:

from " 'What can we women know, save philosophies of the kitchen?' ":

It was well put... that one can philosophize quite well while preparing supper. I often say, when I make these little observations, "Had Aristotle cooked, he would have written a great deal more."
