Making A Memory
After Thanksgiving, you would think that food would be the last thing on my mind and honestly, I always think that I’ll never be hungry again when I roll away from the table. But our bodies do not rest on past feasts. They need fuel going forward. December triggers a different set of cravings from…

Let’s Get Our Spooky On!
It’s October, so it is time to get our spooky on! I like to go gently into the scary night. No horror or too much scary for this girl. I think The Burbs is about as scary as I can handle, though I do watch the occasional ghost story with my sister. And we both…

What Are Your Favorite Holiday Movies?
When I was a little girl, our holiday movie and TV show watching started Thanksgiving week. There was Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Miracle on 34Th Street, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (original version), A Christmas Carol (seemed like there was a new version almost every year!), Charlie Brown Christmas…

I Love Food!
It is Thanksgiving in the US this week. I gave a lot of thanks in my blog post on the first, so I thought I’d use this Monday to talk food. Because I love food. I joke that the only thing that truly haunts me is the food that got away—the food that is gone…
