Greek Stuffing

My Mother always made the most delicious Greek Stuffing on Thanksgiving. It consisted of Hamburger, onion, rice, Pignole nuts, walnuts, tomato sauce and lots of spices. Don’t bother looking it up the on any online recipe sites because it just doesn’t exist – other than my Mother’s handwritten copy, which I have. Since my Mother … More Greek Stuffing

Bossy vs Nasty

I’m just a little confused. A couple of years ago, Sheryl Sandberg COO of Facebook created a movement called “Ban Bossy”. It suggested that young girls should not be called Bossy. At that time, I wrote a blog saying that I did not agree with the negative interpretation of the word bossy. Some of you … More Bossy vs Nasty

Based on the political climate, I’m sure you realize that we started talking about the Presidential Elections. Now, this is not about … More Activate Your Passion

I Remember When….

Recently, WJJ and I attended a Black Tie Event and saw a number of people that we had not seen in years. I was delighted when several said, “Oh, my gosh you haven’t changed one bit”. Frankly, I looked pretty darn good that evening. Thanks to my sister Christine’s generosity, I wore a stunning burgundy … More I Remember When….
