Once Upon a Time there was an imperfect Queen who lived in an imperfect castle with her imperfect King. They had three imperfect daughters and were all perfectly happy together in the Kingdom of Imperfection. The Queen seeing how hard her King worked wanted to support him and show her children the rewards of loyalty and devotion. She tried many tasks to help her family where she saw a need. She cared for the castle, cooked the food, healed their wounds, and crafted many things. These seemingly simple tasks became of extreme importance as the kingdom had a great enemy who would attack whenever he perceived a weakness in the royal family. He was sly and underhanded and without honor. The Queen began to see that her role was vital in keeping the kingdom strong and healthy. With the castle in order, the family fed, their hearts and minds well loved, they were best prepared to fight. The enemy despised the Queen and the royal family but the Queen did not think on this. She turned her mind to her purpose and believed with all her heart that with faith and perseverance they would indeed, against all odds, live happily ever after.
When the princesses were young, the Queen would read to them tales of old filled with adventure and wonder. Stories and parables filled the princesses with delight and curiosity. As the children grew they began to help the Queen with her tasks. Each had their own unique talents and gifts and the Queen was quite pleased at how they were growing. She began to keep a diary of the things she fed their bodies and minds for the day when they would become Queens of their own castles. She called it; "Food and Fairytales."
