    All things considered, it’s been a pretty easy winter. We go from snow to rain to 60 degrees in a matter of days. I’ll take that. It does give me pause though, wondering if spring is going to be just as wacky as winter.

    That’s exactly why we like certain foods now that we never liked when we were younger. Well, that and the quality of the cook. The quality of the cook, and the recipe used, makes a world of difference in taste.
