I need to whine a little. It’s been a challenging few months for me. Ever since around May, not only has the weather been only sporadically nice, but I’ve been battling with an injury that has kept me from running, much less walking. If you use exercise as an anti-depressant like I do, you totally […]
How to Make Perfect Corn on the Cob & Why it Should Be GMO-Free
August 7, 2013 · by · 24 Comments
I love corn on the cob. I love its crunch, it’s taste, and I especially love it drenched in butter. The only problem is it has a very short season where I live, so I want to eat it every day, but I don’t because that butter I prefer to smother it with is not […]

In Search of the Best Maine Lobster Roll
July 10, 2013 · by · Leave a Comment
On two separate occasions and with two different people I had a discussion about Maine Lobster Rolls last weekend.

My Nana often says to me, Cathy, you can’t choose your relatives. As a matter of fact, it has been uttered during many of our phone conversations and sometimes I’m even the one who says it every now and then. While it is often stated with a chuckle, there is certainly truth behind it. The […]
