I don’t have a Christmas tree yet.  But last night I was getting nervous about not owning enough ornaments when the decorating time arrives.

Last week I met with Jennifer Menzer, owner of Essential Nutrition and Fitness, for a free personal training session. We met at Saldare Body Therapy in Boston’s South End.  I’ve walked by Saldare many times and always wondered what it was all about.  Besides offering massages and muscle therapy, body treatments, and waxing, Saldare also [...]

I’m not a food blogger.  I’m just someone who occasionally blogs about food.  I like to take photographs of my meal and memorable food moments.  Food is fun! It’s a culinary triumph when I add onions and grape tomatoes to a couscous mix. Cheese and crackers always make such a pretty spread. I taught my [...]
