It doesn’t even seem possible that the boys’ dad and I have successfully reared two 21+ year-old offspring. I think I’ll pause here for a moment of quiet celebration. Feel free to join me. Okay - so, twenty-one can be a real defining moment of adulthood. A milestone of sorts. With this particular kid of … Continue reading The day my middle son turned 21

Well, it was a fried soft shell crab BLT served with chipotle mayo and poblano slaw. … Continue reading She’s gotta have it – the soft shell crab sandwich at New World Bistro Bar
