White strawberries... What do you think? They look wrong, right? For years I've resisted buying these strawberries, because who would want to eat white strawberries...

Omigosh! Can it get any colder than this?! It's 20 degrees out there, and with the wind and rain, it really feels like 10. January is always such a miserable month, weather-wise.

My own situation has not been too difficult aside from inconveniences such as canceled trips or the inability to see and get together with friends and relatives. Nevertheless, I'm ready for the new year. I'm hoping for an improved situation for all citizens of the world, in all aspects affecting their lives. I'm celebrating the end of the year by doing the kind of "cooking" I like best, ... continue reading...
