As I said yesterday, I’m the opposite of Jane. Although I love to feed people, I’m a total slacker—I avoid cooking whenever possible. But even in MY house, the kitchen sees a lot of action when Daniel’s home. It’s been used more in the last week than in the last 6 months. His friends are always […]
opposites attract
This morning on the phone, I was talking to Alli about my friend Myra Goodman’s amazing cookbook.
