Peril in the Kitchen
The first time I encountered a recipe with polenta, I followed the instructions for cooking it the old-fashioned way, thinking “how hard can it be?” What I didn’t realize is that polenta is Italian for “sore arms.” Well, not really, … Continue reading

Knock, knock! Who’s there? Inchworm! Inchworm who? Inchya glad I’m not a spider? Yeah, I’m glad you’re not a spider. I’m sick of spiders. They’re everywhere lately, even on my flowers! And they don’t knock before they come in.
