Many years ago — when I was young and single — I used to spend whole weekends reading.

Since we were out of town for the Kentucky Derby, we decided to have a Preakness party (even though we are within driving distance of Baltimore, where the actual Preakness is run).

OK, so it’s almost Christmas and I haven’t posted any cookies yet.

Last week I read this article in the New York Times about how Americans don’t eat enough vegetables.

Have you noticed how trendy sweet potatoes are these days? I’ve always loved sweet potatoes — particularly when mashed and topped with gooey marshmallows — but they used to be a fall-only kind of vegetable, and now they’re year-round, while white potatoes.

Since this is our last spring in DC (at least for a while), we knew we had to go see the cherry blossom trees when they were in bloom.
