I’m finally getting around to posting some of the previous month meals. This one is for August. It was pretty easy in terms of choosing ‘what’ to make – nothing in the fridge, so had a complete clean slate to work with. Setting the scene: The day was boiling hot, and I had spent the … Read More

I sometimes look back at 9/11 and wonder if my memory of it has altered and if the reality was different than I recall. It was such a long time ago – I had wrote about it on my laptop at the time, but unfortunately lost it before backing it up and never ended … Read More

I have not been for 2 years, but this year it seemed a bit overwhelming with a record number of attendees – an indicator of the amount of money that is flooding into Mobile currently.
