Happy birthday Kansas! Today you are 154 years old! You joined the Union in 1861 as a free state, much to the chagrin of neighboring Missouri. Your bird is the western meadowlark and your song is "Home on the Range." You take your name from the Kansa Tribe and it means "People of the South Wind." You were the home of Dwight Eisenhower, Russell Stover, and Emil Kapaun - who may soon become a Saint! You're a grand-old state Kansas...I just wish you'd make up with Missouri.
Today I'm purging a garlic press that my husband gave me two Christmases ago. I like the press, but I buy pre-minced garlic, so I never use this.
