Today was a perfect Salsa and Chips Day in Washington, D.C. What do I mean by that? The kind of day when I want to snack a lot, and don't mind the oven on for a while. Winter has arrived, as evidenced by Winter Storm Diego wreaking havoc a bit to the south, and my hands and neck getting itchy again. Yeah, I have a weird winter thing. ... view more

If I had to rank pizza components, I would say: 1) sauce, 2) dough, 3) toppings, and 4) cheese. In college, when my sorority would order 10 or 20 ... view more
Another day, another recipe to replace a bottle of condiments in the refrigerator door with something healthier, from items you can keep on-hand. Ho-hum.
