I’ve thinking a lot about donuts lately. My beloved Krispy Kreme – just a stone’s throw from work – closed down, leaving me bereft of my favorite flavor: glazed kreme filled. Now, my only local options are Dunkin’ Donuts (serviceable), the bakery department at Wegmans (pretty good) or Timmy Ho’s (where I seem to get […]

Amy Secrest’s Donut Earrings. I would love to wear these, but I’m 30 and I just feel I’m past the age of doing so. Then again, I couldn’t really see myself wearing these when I was 20, either. Besides, where would I wear them? When teaching a college course? Going food shopping? Out on a […]

She asked us to make Lemon Meringue Pies as “it is something [she’s] always wanted to try to make and [she] also wanted […]

A small sampling of the delicacies offered at Harrods’ Food Halls. Hey! Hi! Hello! I know it’s been a while, but I’m back from my trip to London. I was there to assist two colleagues in leading the “Media: The British Experience” course/trip- what a fabulous time! Not only did we get to check out […]
