So sad.<BR/><BR/>Some Holocaust love stories are true. The NY Times featured a story about the famous comic book artists Stan Lee and Neal Adams and a story they were publicizing.<BR/><BR/>The story is about Dina Gottliebova Babbitt who was a 19 year old art student at Auschwitz. There she was asked by the Jewish head of the children's camp to paint something to cheer them up. Dina painted a mural of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and in the end, Dina's art became the reason for her salvation.<BR/><BR/>Painting the mural for the children caused Dina to be taken in front of Dr. Mengele, the Angel of Death. She thought she was going to be gassed, but she bravely stood up to Mengele and he decided to make her his portrait painter, saving herself and her mother from the gas chamber.<BR/><BR/>After the war, Dina applied for a job to be an animator and the person interviewing her turned out to be the man who created Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs for the movie. They fell in love and got married. Show White saved Dina's life twice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455282943485171686.post-34181165590151435862008-12-29T18:58:00.000-08:002008-12-29T18:58:00.000-08:00I found you because I have a Google alert for my n...I found you because I have a Google alert for my name, which ends with Stoodley.<BR/><BR/>I write about gardening, bake, grow, etc.<BR/><BR/>Nice to meet you.

Most of the big stores, have their own bakery and own special bread. And cheese of course then there is the wine and various sausages. Now is the time of game. Most restaurants serve venison dishes along with boar and birds. <BR/><BR/>Most of the breads are hand formed and not cooked in those metal bread pans. So all sorts of shapes come out. Most cereals are fair game for bread including potatoes and now and again, hemp.<BR/><BR/>When travelling back home to Canada, I find that finding decent bread is a challenge. Fortunately my wife makes much of our bread so I guess I am lucky. Today for example we had five cereal bread with a good bear steak (only kidding. Bears in backyards would scare the heck out of me:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455282943485171686.post-11699576729841041312008-10-05T22:40:00.000-07:002008-10-05T22:40:00.000-07:00sniffle.....already missing my favorite sister!
