A few months ago I asked my friend Kimberly if she would mind doing a guest post on my blog. You see, this friend Kimberly of mine is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and I have her to thank for my conversion to kosher salt about 7 years ago. I haven't bought…

 I bought Chris tickets for his birthday in June and we went last night (really it was a gift to me). I can't believe we've been listening to them for nearly 20 years. The boys were…SO GOOD. The last time we saw them was in Boston 4+ years ago. I was 9 months pregnant. We…

Pihoto from last nights 'mallow roasting at the beach. My uncle passed away. Mom came out to stay on Saturday to take care of all the details. He was her brother. My uncle Lenn.  They were very close. There are so many things that have to be done. Paperwork. Calls to the coroners office. Decisions…
