I just love baguette. It’s the unassuming, skinny loaf of bread that can do amazing things. I’m rather picky about my baguette. Some stores just haven’t mastered the crusty old cousin to the French Bread, or they haven’t gotten the flavor just right to where sometimes it just tastes like a bad ...

Why am I Afraid of Art?
I want to learn how to draw…I mean I really want to learn. It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time, but for some reason I’m afraid. Sounds silly, but I’m afraid of being a miserable failure at it. Sure, I took the required classes through high school, but unfortunately I didn’t really enjoy them ... Read More about Why am I Afraid of Art?

Blogging Terms for the Clueless
When I decided to start a blog, I thought I knew a bit about websites. Way back in the late 90s, I…ME… actually built a website using Microsoft FrontPage for a women’s organization I belonged to.

Not long ago, someone asked me how I learned to cook. Hmmm…that’s a tough question! My first dip into cooking was when I was a Girl Scout, and my mom was the Cooking Badge mom. I’m guessing I was probably in fourth or fifth grade. What I do know is that if there was a badge involved, I was ... Read More about Learning to Cook…the Girl Scout Way
