I don’t know what it is, but I can’t stop eating. Carbs are my thing and recently I have been going to town cooking, and eating, pasta. It’s a little too soon to be officially “carb loading” for either of the 1/2 marathons for which I’ve already registered, so I have no excuse other than … Continue reading More carbs, please

Randoms – February, 2019
I have absolutely zero feelings regarding whether the roll of toilet paper is supposed to be installed over or under. However, double parked vehicles blocking available legal parking will probably be my trigger if I should ever totally lose my sh*t. I’m at a stage in the aging process where I believe liberally applied moisturizer … Continue reading Randoms – February, 2019

I loved the romantic story about the owners meeting in Italy and coming together to create a life that includes family, sheep, cheese and authentic small production Italian products imported and sold from their barn and … Continue reading Lunch at Dancing Ewe Farm
Mother’s Day moments, 2018
We’re not really big on Hallmark holidays, but I do indulge in playing the Mother’s Day card once a year. This year I was informed that I could say “but, it’s Mother’s Day” a total of only ten times before the phrase would lose its power to motivate my sons to do something for me. … Continue reading Mother’s Day moments, 2018
