Now’s The Time To Turn Over a New Leaf!

September 29, 2009

When people think of Vermont, they think of beautiful autumn colors, quaint villages, white church steeples and pastures full of charming black and white Ben and Jerry’s dairy cows. (I know they’re called Holsteins for you aggies out there — but does it really matter?). Well, it’s all true and it’s all here right now. I may not be the best [...]

August 6, 2008

On a recent trip to Minneapolis, my girlfriend introduced me to Nordic walking. And I’ve been hooked ever since.

"Mise en Place" (mise en place [MEEZ ahn plahs] a French cooking term meaning "everything in its place”) What a wonderful concept.
