peggy does it again.
At a party on Saturday night, my long-time friend, Peggy Lampman noticed quite a crowd gathered around me and wondered what in the world I was talking about that had them so engrossed in the conversation.

Egg Pappardelle with Bacon, Asparagus, Onions, and Shallots (do try this at home)
One of Monique’s rules for easier living she lives by is: never eat a meal while standing. Pour yourself a glass of wine. Make a table setting. Then prepare to cook a meal that inspires you to sit down and make the meal a lovely moment in your oh-so-busy life. Tonight, rather than eating something [...]
