Happy weekend! Hope yours is off to a fun start. Bobby is currently taking the Level II CFA exam, an event he has been preparing for diligently since February. I have no doubt that we will rock the test but if you could send some good luck vibes his way, I’m sure he would be […]

Memorable Meals: Risotto-A-Go-Go
Sometimes, the best laid plans for a new recipe don’t run as smoothly as you wish they would. This was not one of those times. I’ve never met a risotto I didn’t like. I love eating it in restaurants. We even served it at our wedding. But I had never tried making it myself at […]

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you had a wonderful long weekend celebrating with friends and family, as well as honoring those who serve our country.

Birthday Bonanza!
Hello from the 25th year! The idea of celebrating the “year” rather than the “age” comes from a longstanding joke in my family. When my mom turned 49, Papa Bender gave my brother and me the idea to congratulate her on celebrating her 50th year. I am sure you can imagine how well that one […]
