For entertainment, you can do it too and post your results. If you’re up for [...]

Anyone who has ever spent even five minutes with me knows that I am obsessed with food. I devour The Food Network, cookbooks, food blogs, recipe books, magazines and websites on a daily basis, storing tips, tricks and recipes for later use. I have a huge 3-ring binder that [...]

Though the competition is stiff, my interview went well. I am just grateful to have it over and done with. I should find out the results by Friday. Fingers, toes, legs, and ankles crossed.
I spent a low-key weekend with my mom who drove up with my new kitten. She’s light grey and 7 weeks old, [...]
