Mmm, cookies. I love cookies. The only problem with cookies is that I eat them. And eat them. And eat them. It’s only another cookie — what can it hurt? This week’s Tuesdays With Dorie recipe was Coconut Butter Thins, chosen for us by Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch. Coconut. Butter. What’s not to [...]
I’m back! (Although, sadly, Passover is approaching. I’m hoping the April recipes are posted soon, so I can work ahead.) I don’t like fruit; you all know that.

Here in the mid-Atlantic we got our first real snow of the season today. On March 1st. And what’s really sad is that #2 Son, who is almost 12, was overjoyed when he woke up this morning; he thought this was a huge amount of snow. #1 Son remembers — just barely — the Great [...]
