That’s Not My Name
When I was in 1st grade I started spelling my name "Sylvia" because that was the way everyone else (i.e. my teachers) spelled it. As a child, I craved consistency and wanted to conform, so I just started spelling my name the more common way. I didn't have the words yet to correct people and … Continue reading That’s Not My Name

Give me a little ground lamb and some feta and somehow that equals Greek in my mind. Dinner ended up having even more variety … Continue reading Sunny Sunday Supper
