I’ve come up with this crazy notion. I think that from now on foods and drinks should taste like what they are—that particular food or drink. I know—insane, isn’t it? I guess I’m just an old-fashioned kind of gal. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me give you an example. I first […]

I’m not a full-fledged vegetarian. But sometimes I get pretty darned close. I’ve always been squeamish and easily grossed out. So finding something in my ham or steak or chicken that resembles a vein or artery or muscle… Clunk… Oh, sorry, I fainted there for a minute. Just let me get some blood rushing back […]

The beginning of the year is the time when we get a clean slate—if we’ve screwed up in the last 12 months, we can “wipe it clean” and begin again. And considering that lots of us may have put on what they’re referring to as the COVID 19—like the Freshman 15 for the 15 pounds […]

Like every other dog I’ve ever had or met, Riley loves treats. But just as much as he loves treats, Riley loves something else: ice cubes. You might think that a treat, which is made with chicken or beef or veggies of some sort would be much more appealing. But no. Not for this pup. […]

They say that the most important part of every relationship is the ability to communicate. Obviously, “they” have never been to my home.

I consider myself a positive person overall. I work at it sometimes, but I like living life with the glass half full. That said, one of the reasons I love living in Maryland is because we get all four seasons—winter, spring, summer, and fall. Really. I love them. I can’t imagine living somewhere and have […]

Dear Readers—I know you’re out there, and sometimes I even hear from you. Such was the case when Essex resident Howard Sheckells wrote to me. He suggested a column topic that hits close to home for everyone—especially if you’ll be heading to the grocery store to shop for Thanksgiving dinner.

Dear readers, I’m going to take you on a magical journey, one in which you will learn some of my innermost thoughts, hopes, and dreams… Well, okay, that’s probably a bit of an overstatement. But I’m going to tell you about some things I would definitely do If I Ruled the World.
