I was going to cook last night. Really, I was. But then this happened: A local patio needed to be visited, the sun needed something to soak into, gossip needed to ensue, memories needed to be made, yadda yadda. Chicken soup for the soul, but with wine and pizza instead. So here we are, 24 […]

Pea and Potato Curry
A morning walk with a girlfriend and our dogs – check. A may-jah patio and garden clean up – check. The back yard mowed and edged – check. Old Natalie Merchant blasting on our patio speakers – check. 296 accidental screams due to thinking a wasp was on me – check. The rest of my […]

Chicken Sausages Over Parmesan Polenta
Okay, I have a question to ask you. And I need you to be completely honest with me, no matter how painful this might be. I have to admit that I’m more than a little bit worried about the answer. But you must know I can take it. I really am a strong, stable person […]
