Hail Autumn! Hail Pumpkin!
Some people think that the shorter days are a drag, but I don’t mind. To me there’s no sweeter time than when the mornings start to crisp and the woodsmoke sings from chimneys. As a kid, I used to favor summer; it got me out of the classroom and into the swimming pool. But lately [...]
The Busy Girl Cooks Chicken
I war with myself, being a foodie and a student who also works five days a week. I am infatuated with food from the Southern-style comfort dishes I grew up with to the fresh, light food of the Pacific Northwest, where I now live, to the exotically spiced fare from foreign soil. I love to [...]
