Today was our Halloween Luncheon at the office. It is an annual tradition. We decorate, dress in costumes, and feast. I decided to make a giant Classic Lasagna to share with my work family. But I wanted to add a spooky element to the dish. Wait til you see what I did. Continue reading »

We have a wonderful Used Book Store in town. It’s in an old home, so imagine each section in it’s own little room, most complete with quiet reading areas.

What’s not to love about sitting down at your favorite Italian restaurant when out comes warm crusty bread and a dish of herby Bread Dipping Oil. I could almost make a meal out of it. Almost. Continue reading »
