Baking is one of my favorite ways to unwind. Measuring, sifting, stirring — it's meditative for me. Plus it makes the house smell divine. The problem is, baking leads to baked goods, and since I have a sweet tooth I find my cookies, cakes, and pies difficult to resist. When I do bake these days, I tend to give a lot of my goodies away, but have backed off the baking considerably. If the sweets Read more
What is it about BBQ food that is so enticing? Juicy burgers smothered in melted cheese, savory ribs, warm and sweet corn on the cob, and creamy potato salad are hard to resist. Of course you've got to wash all that delicious food down with a few refreshing Coronas or margaritas. Since I want to try every little tasty morsel, it's hard to avoid ending up stuffed and immobile on a folding lawn Read more
