Yesterday, one of the (2) town guards delivered my voting card. I’ve been dutifully following the race, reading the newspapers and watching the different news programs and interviews, so I can make an informed decision. It’s been quite a race, interesting to say the least. I’ve written a couple of times about it, but I’m [...]

The other day I was reading how eating fish is important right now for the baby’s brain development. It’s the DHA in the fish that his little brain needs. So, I started thinking about varous fish dishes and realized that this is one I hadn’t made in quite a while. Don’t ask me why though [...]
