OTHER WRITING
 
In this section you'll find all sorts of articles, not just about food, but about friendship and family, neighbors and whatnot. There are academic pieces, such as this one on Cheese Straws, as well as my ruminations about my 30+ year friendship with the band, the B-52s. Articles get updated, changed, and moved around, so be sure to browse through the site. Click on the links under the Other Writing heading, on the left.
I painted this little watercolor sketch on a freezing February day on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
