I can't believe it's June already. My kids are already in summer vacation mode which means it's getting harder to get them to school. Summer means different things for each of them. For the Boy, it means shorts and tank tops no matter what the temperature. I try to explain that even … [Read more...]
Fitness update: 4 months into my plan

Putting the Joy back into Cooking
I'm a bit of a cookbook junkie. I like books of all kinds but cookbooks are, pardon my expression, particularly delicious. My most recent acquisitions are Jamie Olivers' Cook with Jamie, and the classic, iconic cookbook that's recently been updated, The Joy of Cooking. I'm kind of … [Read more...]
Avant Garde Film and Nicaraguan Food
