The other day as I was riding the subway home from work, I heard something really fascinating that I don’t think I had ever heard before — two women, who were both clearly fluent in both English and Spanish, having a conversation and seamlessly slipping from one language to the other, usually within the same … Continue reading
I am not the world’s most loyal crockpot user. I’ve made some good meals in it, sure, but it’s not something I use on a weekly or even monthly basis. The reason is simple — I’m gone from the house for at least 9 hours on the typical workday, so recipes that have 4, 6, … Continue reading
