Letter from the Publisher June 2022
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY "A father is one who carries pictures where his money used to be." Unknown Author
Dear Life Bites Readers, I wish to honor all the great men who influenced my life, especially the men I was never married to who just loved me, imparted knowledge, and opened doors for me along the way to help me be the best Bonnie I could be. They include religious, professors, publishers, bosses, friends, writers, photographersand many family members. I loved my dad, who passed in 1982, and appreciate more today than ever what he went through as a victim of PTSD when he returned from battle as a US Marine fighting in the Pacific Campaign in WWII. His love and kindness were an inspiration to me always. My thanks to the ocean of great men that I never knew who totally inspired me throughout history by their contributions to all the things I love. Men who inspired me to be the best I could be in every way. God Bless you all and I thank you so much where ever you are. PANDEMIC HEROES: I wish to continue to honor all the first responders, medical professionals and hospital staff members who have worked so hard to save so many lives throughout the US and continue to do so. These special people have given so much to those suffering and dying from this virus; often their own lives and there are really no words to describe the gratitude I feel and the sympathy I feel for the families of those who have passed during this pandemic.

Salmon Eggs Olio e Limone Santa Barbara
See our Chef/Hotel story on Eggs-ceptional egg dishes along the Santa Barbara coast. Olio e Limone, Mad & Vin, and Renaud's Patisserie are among my favorites. Check out the story.
Kudos to Santa Barbara FoodBank who have been providing food to seniors and families in the Santa Barbara County ongoing through the Corona Virus Pandemic and continue to do so. This group is renowned for providing brown bag service and additional lunch programs for seniors, as well as lunches for school children during the year, but they have gone beyond every expectation to keep the needy fed during these difficult times.

Happy Birthday to my daughter Kathleen, May 30, and Granddaughter Natasha, June 6 Be kind to the Dad in your life and perhaps use the recipes in our issue to please him, especially the Chile Relleno from Doc's in Taos, NM below, or grill him an Omaha steak using McCormick spices.
We hope your Father's Day is peaceful, happy and filled with love. God bless and we thank you for joining us this month. Look for summer holiday recipes and party ideas in our July issue, which will be devoted to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as our Country Begins to rebound from, an insurrection, and quarantines and closures resulting from Corona Virus.
