A Moment
All it takes is a moment such as today, June 20th. One day. There are a few of them each year, a few days spread throughout the year that reach up and grab me by the throat threatening to squeeze the life right out of me. Every year it changes though, not so desperate or … Continue reading A Moment

Lasagna, A La Diana
Last week my husband asked if I would be willing to put in the many hours it takes to conjure up a couple of lasagnas for the sailors on watch on Memorial Day. My response was, hell yes I will. He really loves my lasagna so I thought I'd share how I make it, for … Continue reading Lasagna, A La Diana
