These responses are likely to make you do two things: get jealous and get HUNGRY. I know that’s how I feel right about now… I think the best meal I ever had that I’ll probably never have again was at a steak and seafood restaurant in Hawaii in 2004. I was there for my sister’s...

Easter is a lovely holiday when families get together, share a meal and celebrate the coming of Spring and all things fresh and beautiful. But one woman’s attempt at dessert turned into a disaster.

When things are collectively tough, there are many different ways to cope. Some people rest, some bake, some exercise.

Spelling isn’t easy, and being able to do it well (or not) isn’t a sign of how smart a person is (though it could be an indication of how well they studied for those tests in school, or in my case, how many books they devoured as children). That said, it can still be pretty...
