Yes, I’ve been quiet this month…really, this year, however, I get the feeling that the second half of the year is going to be absolutely packed. I still love food, but I’ve not felt inspired about dining in awhile. Given some of the celebrated venues […]
The slowest of weeks (and I loved it). I’m editing a book (draft 2, preparing the manuscript for my editor, due before we leave for home) and it was nice to have a week focused on writing, eating well, and getting to the gym. July […]
