Friends. Let me tell you about this yummy little lunch I made myself and my roommate today. But first, I need to talk about something. As I write this, I can feel myself sinking and slouching farther and farther down the couch. My brain, my body, my energy…totally checked out.
Happy 96th birthday Grandma! 96. Seriously. Let’s celebrate your really-so-close-to-a-century with a Sunday potluck. Family, friends, food, and 96. Can’t get over that number! A beautiful lunch. Hugs and kisses. And a catnap before work. Ahh…vacation awaits me in a few short days, after a fun yet busy 3 week

Upon moving to Somerville, I was instantly surrounded by delicious food choices. Walk 5 minutes this way, drive a couple that way, and you’re bound to have a delicious meal just waiting to be gobbled up. I absolutely love the food on the Northshore, don’t get me wrong, but it’s
Good salads have been strangely absent from my life lately. Perhaps I overdid it this summer, or just got into an uninspired salad rut. Nevertheless, they’re making a happy (and much-needed) comeback in my life. I’ll be making this one for the next few weeks – it’s a keeper. Kale
