One of the very first things I do every morning is look at my email. I can’t wait to see if I missed something important during those few hours during the night when I’m not checking my inbox. I know that without fail messages from Groupon, Living Social, Buy With Me, What’s the Deal, […]
Working it Out at the Farmer’s Market
September 19, 2010 · by · Leave a Comment
On Sunday mornings when most of my friends are at the gym or enjoying long bike rides, my workout consists of trying to decide which farmer’s market to visit. I usually alternate between the Olney Farmers Market and the Bethesda Central Farm Market. They each have their own unique appeal. Both markets get my heart […]

Labor Day has passed, which for most people means weekends at the beach are over. However, this past weekend I went to Fenwick Beach. It’s never too late to talk about beach food as far as I’m concerned. For most people a trip to the beach is about sun and surf. When I go to […]

We were dining with another couple and our three sons, who are all in their twenties.
