Summer Honey Sesame Slaw

There’s nothing better than a summer salad, cool and refreshing on a hot day. Gone are the hearty meals of winter, replaced with the freshest local produce, light and healthy, and perfect as sides or meals themselves. Today I’m sharing a low fat Summer Honey Sesame Slaw that Ari created, that’s fresh, easy to make

Gettin’ Down For the Upstroke – The Sunday Morning Sermon

Things, life, got big, really big, like my ass in Rasta colored, Zubaz zebra striped spandex bike shorts big. Contained, colorful, but still oversized.

I’m Not Fat, I’m Big Boned G-d Dammit!

What to keep and what to pitch when cleaning out seventeen (33?) years of accumulated work/office treasure crap, for not quite a hoarder but certainly an excessive saver of all things remotely, possibly, okay only used once on the late afternoon of New Year’s Eve when you find that hole in your pants next to
