I’ve Been Pondering…
The timeless treasures of childhood, with homemade Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies being right up there at the top. When I began baking them, we were under the impression it was absolutely fine to eat raw cookie dough, but now I patiently wait for my niece to be in a baking mood and look…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The cure for a week with too many appointments along with fog, rain, thunder, heat, humidity, severe storms, power outages, air quality alerts and foggy smoky haze. After much thought, I believe a dose of Idris Elba in Hijack, a prescription of Jack Ryan, a daily fix of the Tour de France, the book remedy…
