I hear there’s a big game this weekend. Something about football? American football, I believe…
You got me! I’m not much of a sports fan. I don’t mind getting together with others to watch a big game, but that’s only because of the food. It’s all about the food, and I make plenty of it.

Today was a wrap-yourself-in-a-blanket day. Not because it was a lazy Sunday. No, if only it were that easy. But rather, taking advantage of the time change, I spent the whole morning making bread–because that’s what I do when the mercury takes a dive: bake bread–only to spend 2 hours this afternoon on a soccer …

Dates freak me out a little.
They remind me of the cockroach exhibit at the Bronx Zoo, where you can pretend to walk amongst them. I have no idea why anyone would want to pursue such an endeavor–don’t most of us want to run in the other direction, throwing shoes at them?–but there you can …

Yes, I know, Mardi Gras was 2 days ago. I’m late to the party again. But hear me out… because every day can be Party Gras. No need to save it all for once a year!
