I’m not about to weigh in on whether, in the words of the old Sinatra song, “Love is lovelier, the second time around,” but I know for sure that food can be! So, today, I’m asking two questions: 1)What was on the menu for your Christmas feast? And 2) If there were leftovers, what are your… Continue reading Friday Food and Drink Post: The Second Time Around

Miles for Heroes: Please Consider
Season’s Greetings! I watched a segment on Fox News Something-Or-Other this morning which triggered action for me. The segment was about Luke’s Wings, a charity dedicated to providing the families of wounded, ill, and injured, service members the means to visit them during recovery and rehabilitation. A selfless and wonderful idea. What’s not to like about that? I… Continue reading Miles for Heroes: Please Consider
Friday Food and Drink Post: Impeachment Cobblers!
The past couple of weeks have offered up so many possibilities for menus inspired by current events, it’s hard to know where to begin.

The article, in The Daily Mirror, contains plenty of other gems that signal that, perhaps, things are not going so well for “Extinction… Continue reading Not the Quote of the Day: Sticky Bee Edition
Vote Conservative, Actually
In what may be the Conservative’s last ad filmed before the election, BoJo parodies the carol singers scene from Love Actually to good effect. This just premiered a couple of hours ago on the UK and is already hugely popular. “Brilliant,” as my countrymen like to say. The Conservatives are polling at about 43%, Labor at 33%,… Continue reading Vote Conservative, Actually
But That Was Yesterday . . .
Remember (not all that long ago), when those on the Left decried the Founding Fathers as a bunch of white, racist, slave-holding, and did I mention racist, rich, and did I mention racist, old men whose crown jewel, the Constitution of the United States was an out-of-date screed written by privileged, old (ADIMR) fuddy-duddies with… Continue reading But That Was Yesterday . . .
