It’s Gonna be Epic
So I’m shopping at the local supermarket. For every purchase, they have me enter my phone number and in return I get a small break on gas (Umm… don’t misinterpret that one).

A Journalist Gets It Write
This is the first in a series of recipes. About 2 weeks ago, our daughter got an actual, real job offer. Which means one thing – time to panic. Priority #1: Time to have the family over. The rest can wait.

There are a few truths about guacamole: 1) You can NEVER have enough at a party. 2) Everyone’s homemade guac is pretty darned good 3) Store-bought nuclear-green guac that doesn’t turn an unappealing gray color is not acceptable. I’ve been making this version of guac for years. Try It.
