March 11, Arch De Chine
This beautiful landmark is the center of Chinatown in Washington DC. The exotic beauty is amplified by the lights of night time in this mass of humanity called our Nation's Capital. And I'm standing safely on the sidewalk and behind a parked car.
“You’ll Turn Into A Snake”
These are the tracks the dog and I made one snowy morning. I think I drag my feet... My mother has always discriminated against what she would call lazy people. According to her, laziness is the worst characteristic in a person. She used to tell my sister and I that if we ate laying down that we would turn into snakes. And I believed her too. We always ate at the table because of it. For the record, she is one of the hardest working people I know. It's hard to keep up with her. I would work hard in school and work ...

A patch of green and the crisp morning air revitalizes the winter landscape and revitalizes the soul.
March 9, Short Order Chef
I like to cook but I love to watch other people cook. And I love to watch the professionals do it. That's why I'm a celebrity chef stalker. Masaharu Morimoto, watch out. You're next.
Left To My Own Devices
Once upon a time - last week - I was at the mall with a couple of teenagers. I was tired, they were not. I sat down to rest my feet and it just so happens that Crate and Barrel was in front of me. I stared at the stemless wine glasses for a while and then I decided I needed some. So I did. Then I called the girls and asked if they were done. They weren't. I moved closer to the exit and sat down again to wait. It just so happens that the Pottery Barn was in my direct line of sight. ...
March 7, Losing Gracefully
My little girl got a hard lesson last weekend at her meet. It was the first time we've had a meet since the beginning of December because of all the snow. It was unsafe for the horses to be out in the ice so many of the horses didn't get as much exercise as usual. The girls rode as much as they could but the snow was a deterrent to getting to the farm for most. And parents, like us, didn't want to get stuck in the farm driveway. This meet was rescheduled twice. When they finally had competed, I thought ...
It’s Saturday…Bliss
I am sitting at my computer with the tv on and a mess in my kitchen but I'm blissful. It's a beautiful Saturday morning and though I have already walked the dog and answered some emails, I really don't have to do anything. Today, I'm doing what I choose to do. Most Saturday mornings I'm running the girl the farm or taking the boy to practice and finishing up some work that I left for myself from Friday. But today...I don't have those committments and it feels great. Don't get me wrong...there is plenty that need my attention. Especially around the house. ...
March 6, Street Performance
I love watching street performers. There's just something raw and unpolished yet uplifting about performing for a living. The husband looks like he's going to steal from his bag but I like the photo anyway. I spy both my kids in the photo. Do you?
Champagne Taste
Last weekend we celebrated my little girl's fourteenth birthday. We decided that since she was such a little lady now we would go upscale and fou fou. So off we went to a fancy seafood restaurant. We told her she could order whatever she wanted. And she wanted lobster. And here comes the waiter... To put a fou fou bib on a very reluctant girl. She refused to put it on. When she was a little girl she wouldn't eat lobster because she wanted to take them home as pets. My how times have changed, but Kaitie-girl was a little more dubious. She had the filet ...

The World’s Greatest Chicken Wing-OffFirst there was the crab cake cook-off. Then we had a great chili cook-off. Now, ta da…the chicken wing cook-off. These are my chicken wings. These are the husband’s chicken wings… And this is the mess the husband made when making his wings. I couldn’t even tell you what he put in them. A little bit of this, a little bit...

Pho Pho What Do You KnowIt’s cold and it’s snowing and I want some warm soup to warm my chilly bones. Pho is a Vietnamese stable and it’s a favorite of mine. Actually, I’m craving some now. I start with this…rice noodles. You can actually find rice noodles of various brands in your local market. And I also start with this…pho broth cubes.... [Read more of this review]
