Here in Baltimore, the basil in my garden is beginning to lose it's green. Before winter sets in and summer is no more, I like to make a large batch of pesto. That way, in the cold of winter, I can savor a little taste of summer. Don't be intimidated if you've never made it, it's not hard. Just get out your blender or food processor. Grab some basil, olive oil, nuts...most recipes call for pine nuts, but we have used walnuts and pecans too...garlic, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Click here for a great … [Read more...]

31 Days to Savor~GNO
By on October 12, 2010 with
I saw my sister this past weekend. She was telling me about a friend of hers. My sister had invited her out for a girl's night out (GNO). She said, "Let's go out and have a glass of wine." To which her friend replied, "Like, out of the house?" Truth be told, I don't even have a grid for this. GNO is a must! It is the life blood for us women.

By on October 8, 2010 with
Art. What is it? Asking quizzically. What's this? Silence and peace of art treasures hidden away. Between stations stillness framed by cold metal angels. Exuberant zig zag of calligraffiti. Comes alive in this modern city. Like ancient cave paintings transformed to this day. Like a gem in the mud never ceasing to shine. Brooding energy ready to explode at any time. Brightens up my day riding the subway. Same as my craft tries to awaken the hidden and the lost. Graffiti cemetery … [Read more...]
