Food Adventures of a Comfort Cook
According to one of those “every day is a sort of holiday” websites, the week of March 19-25, 2023 is American Chocolate Week. I wish I could give you an exact date on when this “holiday” came into existence.
However, there has always been a celebration of chocolate, whether worldwide, national, or...
One of the most famous gothic horror classics is Dracula, written by Bram Stoker, published in 1897, and retold by Hollywood too many times to count.

March 2023 came in like a lion, so it should end peacefully like a lamb. Yes, the snow is very much appreciated, but did it have to come all at once?
We, like many others, just do not have any clue as to where to put the shoveled snow any longer.
The piles have become so high, but with the sun...

For New Year’s, most of San Juan County was hit by snow storms, dumping much-needed moisture in the mountains, and in and around the towns. This is definitely a blessing!
However, it did make travel difficult, so the truckers delivering goods for the stores and packages from Amazon weren’t thinking...
With 2022 in the rearview mirror, we have arrived at a beginning. Each new year we make resolutions, promises to ourselves that we will be someone better.
