I haven’t tried many new recipes lately. Our menu has focused on favorites and been filled out with in with improvised dishes. I decided to make a new fish recipe Friday evening, and it was a winner—and then some! I have controlled myself this year and haven’t bought any cookbooks.…

Why do you blog? There’s a short answer and a long answer as to why I blog, and I’m going to give you both answers. Short answer: I love to write, and I really enjoy writing a blog. The school district encouraged classroom blogs the last two years I taught,…
