This has been a fabulous weekend for eating around here. Woe is me that is has also been my first weekend back on Weight Watchers after many years. I have counted every blessed point though, and managed to use a full week’s of flex points in two days. So it goes. Friday night we had…

Got no picture and this ain’t about food, but I can’t resist.  One of my favorite nonfood bloggers, Andrew Sullivan, posts about this blogger’s discovery of a tool that tries to determine whether a blogger is male or female.  The science seems a little obscure to me, but the results are fun.  On two tries…

We are in Palm Harbor, Florida, visiting some  good friends for Passover tonight. We are not Jewish but these friends are, and we are here to share and learn and eat really, really well.
