a thank you for a “simple” meal

I HOPE THANKSGIVING DAY WAS EXACTLY AS YOU ALL WANTED IT TO BE.
While recovering from a recent hospital experience, I sat one morning with a simple breakfast of Knudsen’s Concord Grape juice diluted with water; scrumptious Wheat Sandwich bread from Metropolitan Bakery in Philadelphia, toasted to perfection and spread with butter and bionatura Organic [...]

Dear Mom

You are a warrior… Stay strong, rest up and we love you…

I remember the fun so many of us had at Asbury Park, NJ when it was in its prime. On many weekends a lot of people would gather in cars, – in those days there were no seat belts, no real crowding on the roads, and no one to stop the driver of a car [...]

The Master Cleanse Experience… aka Lemonade Diet

a whirling dervish

I’ve always been fascinated by pictures of whirling dervishes.

Even so, Kripalu was bustling with activity. Carolyn Myss was [...]

peace and love in 2008

I hope anyone reading this was able to welcome in the New Year around family, friends and loved ones.
Mom, thanks for making the trip. It was wonderful as always having you with us. I’m thinking that Taverna Agora may become a family spot…
Good things coming for all of us in 2008!

O Christmas Tree Brings the Warm & Fuzzy Feeling

Tonight we got our Christmas tree from Cranberry Tree Farm.  Michael is vacuuming the house right now so we can put it in the living room. Boy it is interesting how something like buying a big tree makes you get in the Christmas mood and feel the holidays are here. Just seeing the sales guy [...]
