I always start the new year with the best of intentions. I want to be better organized, watch less TV, eat healthier foods, and most of all, be mindful of others and think before I act or speak. In reality, though, some of these New Year's resolutions are harder to keep. Being mindful of others, especially, can be a challenge. I have to keep reminding myself on a daily basis. I'd like to think I'm getting better at it. Why the other day another driver took a parking spot I was clearly waiting ... continue reading...

So for New Year’s Day, one is supposed to eat donuts. You know, for luck. Anything round or circular or ring-shaped is considered lucky. So they say... Anyway, I didn’t have donuts. I didn’t make any. I didn't buy any. But I didn't want to tempt fate, either. So I offered my family the next best thing. Bagels. I always have bagels in the house.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! Is anybody doing the Seven Fishes tonight? I’m exceedingly intrigued by this feast. And many times I suggested we give it a try. But the husband always gave me a look in response. No words, just a look. You know that look, don’t you? A look that says ENOUGH. No Seven Fishes! Sigh...

I’m in trouble. It’s just about a week away from Christmas and I haven’t finalized my menu. Unlike Thanksgiving, which the family has firmly decided as the best meal of the year and therefore pretty much set in stone, our Christmas menu keeps changing year after year. Sometimes we do ham, sometimes prime rib, sometimes turkey... see, all over the place. I’d like to, once and for all, come up with a menu worthy of the occasion that everybody is happy with. So I can just repeat it annually. At ... continue reading...
