it does not confine the leaves at all. It’s also microwave safe, which is useful at work. The only other disadvantage I can think of is it’s not insulated at all so you might have to put the tea into a thermos if you...

Soups and stews (perfect for the upcoming cold weather) are filling, cheap and nutritious. You can cook cheap cuts of meat in a dutch oven or crock pot. Depending on where you live, please take advantage of produce stands and...

Dad always made stew. I hate stew, but that’s beside the point. He tried. Not sophisticated, but easy and keeps you fed for a long time. Not good in hot weather either. Sorry to hear about your leg! Get well soon!

No i haven’t yet but I will be trying it out now that the weather is nicer. I am just never up at a time for brunch, it goes with working nights for the last 18 or so years. If someone has 100K to spare I would be happy to...

where it came from. I remember when I was a girl, my mother used to buy live chickens at the market. She taught me how to pick a good one, and then we’d carry it home, and if the weather was good, she’d take it...

to be horrible if it’s been sitting on a warm shelf for three years.

If a chain is the only reasonable spot to eat dinner and i’m alone, I’ll bring a crossword puzzle. Other wise, I’ll try to find a smaller place, with outdoor seating if weather is nice, and people watch and chat...

Sonic. I love the burgers, and they have lots of different options, especially for beverages, and nutritionally, they ain’t as bad as some others. Wish we had 'em in New England, but the weather's too harsh here, I suspect.

a horrible snowstorm that morning, yet all the girls were still on the subway in their red pumps, slushing through several inches of freezing mush. I mean, really, if you have a date that you can’t reschedule due to...
