The Major Deal with a Minor Holiday
I love pizza even though the gluten in the crust and the lactose in the cheese usually make me feel sick. It’s a special treat nonetheless. But it’s not special enough to make up for the fact that it’s my Labor Day picnic-for-one meal. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a few slices of pizza.ContinueContinue reading “The Major Deal with a Minor Holiday”

New Year’s Resolutions
If you’re anything like me, you’ve made resolutions to lose weight, do devotions daily, be nicer to your family, and have a home-cooked meal on the table every night by 5:30.

Thank You Notes are Always in Style
Is it just me, or are thank you notes (the paper kind you hold in your hand) becoming obsolete? Are they following the dwindling number of friendly letters and Christmas letters and cards that used to stuff our mailboxes?

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?
Sidney Portier is not eating dinner at my house, neither is Ashton Kutcher. Actually, no one is coming to Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year; we’ll be driving across town to my sister-in-law’s house. Who’s coming to dinner at your house? Do you even know? Are you anxious for a tried-and-true method to hostingContinueContinue reading “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”
