Where Faith, Food and Life Converge
The other day my husband and I were talking about some choices that one of our kids was thinking about making, maybe a little too hastily. It’s hard to tell your kids that life is longer than one day, you know? Not everything has to be […]
How often do you let others perceived expectations of you define you? I know I have. I know I do. Think hard about it. Do you let someone’s else’s desires, wishes or hopes for you drive your life? Has your boss told you that you […]
A year ago, I was here: at Paul, in Paris. One of few chain restaurants in France, the food is consistent, with luscious macarons, baguettes, and brioches. (The best were the kalamate olive baguettes!) It was close to our hotel, and still retains that “French boulangerie” […]
