I struck out at dinner again last night. Lately every main-dish recipe I try seems to be a tragic failure. This is probably because I keep trying new super-healthy and vegetarian items, because that’s what I’d like us all to be eating. So, I attempted a Sweet Potato and Lentil Stew.

I know that it was rainy and gloomy all day, but. . . it felt kind of good out. It felt like warm spring rain, like April showers that will bring May flowers. Plus, I always remind myself that this English-style weather is excellent for our complexions. In fact, when I was in high school, … [Read more…]

Also, I was thinking about this on the … [Read more…]
Another week, another bunch of things to do. Remember, if none of this appeals to you, that you should check out the regularly scheduled events from the What About TODAY? page. I have to tell you, sometimes this blog makes me feel a little bit guilty. There were so many events over the weekend, and … [Read more…]
