There’s food to be made, tables to be set, and a few last minute gifts to wrap. Anticipation of a wonderful day is the best part, even if there’s no chance of snow.

Popeye The Sailor Man
Yesterday I knew it was time to eat a salad. Too much candy, cookies, wintertime casseroles, and stews were makingme feel, well – puffy. I’m not talking about a summery salad with tons of seasonal veggies, but ayummy main course salad that’s good year round. …
