Summer is most definitely here, at least where I am. We’ve been battling thunderstorms and mosquitoes and a string of days marked by an unwelcome and overstaying holy-moly-I’m-melting-here blanket of heat. And let me tell you, it’s hot. During one particularly oppressively hot day—a day our brand new air conditioning system decided it had […]
For the folks who celebrate Easter Sunday, the Monday after usually finds them with a stuffed fridge, often with an entire shelf devoted to housing what’s left of an enormous Easter ham. Easter Ham.
