Say what you will about Vanilla Ice, he had one thing right. We all need to hit the pause button. Well, he actually noted that we needed to “stop, collaborate, and listen“. Go figure. That is actually quite sound advice. Especially nowadays. We shall ignore the rest of […]
I think, but I cannot say, with any certainty, that at one point people felt that ethics and ethical behavior mattered. I’m sure I sound like a jaded, New Yorker. I am a New Yorker, afterall. But it may very well be that ethical behavior is on a […]
Here is the deal. I don’t cook. I used to. Many moons ago. I was good. I could be good again. I know how to follow recipes, I’m curious, and I know how to garnish. I made really great curries, chowder, stews, and empanadas. Saucy foods were my […]
