A few columns back I jumped the gun with my declaration that fall had arrived early. I apologized and then proceeded to grasp on to the remainder of our glorious weather like a doomed man clinging to a life raft in the middle of a tumultuous ocean. So in celebration of

Do you believe in heaven? If you do, where is it? Some believe heaven hovers somewhere in the clouds. Others believe it exists in an alternate dimension. Whatever you believe, I can tell you this: there is a heaven and it is exists in Auburn. No joke. Recently, I was invited

To quote Jerry Orbach, Baby’s dad in Dirty Dancing, “When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong.” I admit I was seriously wrong in saying summer was over in last week’s column. I did feel a slight crispness in the morning air last week, but I should have never jumped to

Well, so much for summer, kids. It’s finished. Fertig! Verfallen! Verlumpt! Verblunget! Verkackt! With that said, the husband and I were able to salvage a decent holiday weekend out at the lake place. Great friends, good food and many bottles of wine were consumed during the course of our stay,

“Vanity is definitely my most favorite sin” – Al Pacino, The Devil’s Advocate. You can’t swing a dead cat around this town without hitting someone who wants to open a restaurant. I over use this saying, but it expresses how I feel so clearly. The first thing I ask people who

I know you must be tired of hearing it, but it must be declared again; I’m a lucky girl. Writing for the Weekly Volcano has given me a captive audience to communicate my thoughts and opinions whereas other mere mortals must rely on family and friends for cerebral dumping. While

Occasionally I get feedback about The Dirty Dish. The other day a friend commented that I had lost my edge a little bit in the last few months, and oddly enough I had been thinking the very same thing. Hopefully I won’t disappoint her in this week’s column because I

For a foodie like myself, mid summer has to be the best time of the year. We are fortunate to have some very accessible farmers markets in our area and several Metro Parks do-it-yourself pea patches dotted throughout the city. With all these opportunities for fresh bounty, I rarely have

It is hard to believe, but another year has passed and we are once again blind sided by Zoobilee. I say “blind sided” because of the way I usually feel the next day. You see after all the party over-indulgence, my vision is slightly blurred, not exactly blind, but I
