Headstones and Homesteads
I ran an errand to the mall today and ended up sitting at my Grandparents’ grave site. I don’t know why, really. I’m not much of a grave visitor. I had a rough day today. But I’ve had other rough days and none have sent me running to their grave. Perhaps it is just that…

The Food Post That Almost Wasn’t
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I did not fall off the planet and into a black hole. And despite the fact that I really hate when I hear myself say “I’ve been busy” in response to a question about what I’ve been doing or how I am, the truth is that we really have…

Put On Your Thanksgiving Pants!
There’s no way around it. No matter who you are, what you eat for Thanksgiving dinner, where you go or whom you spend it with, Thanksgiving is all about food. You don’t even have to like the holiday, but eventually, everybody’s gotta eat.
