Terrible photos of the food; since I use my phone camera for these it really can be hit or miss depending on lighting. It is a pity since...

As an introvert, I really relish my time alone. Still, because I am now working and job-hunting from home, even I sometimes feel that I...

I am not posting the recipes for these dishes since, though they were all quite good, they each had flaws that needed to be fixed before...

Mostly L. and I do without dessert after dinner. To begin with I am not a good dessert maker. I also feel that L. and I get enough sugar...

We are back to the city tomorrow morning and to our regularly scheduled meal plan. This is probably not such a bad thing as I am starting...
