I spent a good part of the weekend de-cluttering, both literally and figuratively. Eliminating a piece of furniture and its contents (vhs tapes), as well as packing up a ton of cds which are already stored in my iTunes, gave me a great sense of accomplishment and helped me to begin a new week in … Continue reading Stewing

Scrambled
I like eggs. Poached, over-easy, sunny-side up, baked, boiled and, of course, scrambled. I think eating a couple of fresh eggs a week is an easy way to add important protein, minerals and vitamins to my diet and damn, it's so easy! This morning I was feeling like something soft and creamy so the natural … Continue reading Scrambled

My friend, Christin, came over and, when she was finished mocking me and my pathetic attempts, she taught me how … Continue reading Eggs Benedict
Sunday Supper – Lakehouse Edition
We are finally wrapping up Tom's 50th birthday extravaganza with a family & friends gathering in Massachusetts at my brother-in-law's place.
