(Aug. 3, 2018) I cannot believe it is August. Where did the summer go?

(July 27, 2018) The summer plays havoc on my social life; writing my column, working at the bank, teaching cooking classes, cleaning condos, cooking for family and friends, taking care of my animals, and trying to keep my home immaculate is needless to say, time consuming.

(July 20, 2018) There was a time when my youth prevailed and life could not have been better.

(July 13, 2018) There is nothing more refreshing than the citrusy taste of lemon, especially on a hot, summer day.

(July 6, 2018) Residing at the beach manifests a whole different feeling than living in other residential communities.

(June 29, 2018) Webster’s New World Dictionary defines “obsession” as being greatly occupied with a particular subject. If culinary perfection is to be achieved, each and every thought must be emulsified with a particular topic for complete success.

(June 22, 2018) The expression “there is no time like the present,” has graced my repertoire of thoughts.

(June 15, 2018) Seasons change and so does my schedule. Going home on a regular basis to be with family must be postponed as my itinerary during the months of summer is simply too busy.

(June 8, 2018) I absolutely adore the art of grilling. Rain, snow and high winds do not keep me from partaking of one of America’s favorite pastimes.

(June 1, 2018) Schools are closing and the unofficial start of summer is finally here.
