One more soup, before we head for spring? Despite my public affection for kale, broccoli was probably my first green veggie love. When I was young, my brother and I would split the broccoli duties: I would eat the florets, and he would take the stalk. Don't take this to mean we got along, this is just how we got through dinner.

Treats for Tazewell: Chicken Broth Coins
This week was a total blur. To rehash just a sampling of the goings-on: lots on tap at work, full social calendar, and - surprise! - a new indoor wading pool appeared in my apartment!

We had a reprieve in December, but it is squarely and completely winter now, at least in Washington, D.C.

You see, when you 1) live in a large apartment building that shovels for you, 2) don't lose power or ... view more
Mini Salvadoran Breakfast Cakes
This week, we had a celebration at work in honor of a significant milestone for my supervisor: 25 years of federal service. 25 years! Oh no. I just realized I'm only a few months shy of half-way to 25 years. WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED. Ack. Composure regained. Any-way, I organized a brunch at work on Monday for this event. And want to know what's ... view more
