Posted on April 15, 2016 by debspots

Posted on March 24, 2016 by debspots

I really wanted to make my own maple syrup last year. I thought about it, but that’s about as far as it got. As much as I am a die-hard do-it-yourselfer, last spring I was a little, um…shall we say … Continue reading →

Avoziki

Posted on March 12, 2016 by debspots

I pretend to be very grown-up, self-sufficient and independent. In reality, I am desperate, needy and pathetic. Don’t tell anybody! I am such a loser. Seriously! The most obvious manifestation of this is the way I behave whenever one of … Continue reading →

Posted on February 25, 2016 by debspots
