Like most people, I don’t really love going to the doctor. Unsurprisingly: paying my premiums is a source of severe irritation, particularly when the all-too-familiar solution to whatever is an unhelpful and ambiguous prescription of “rest.” As a result, I’m generally one to wait things out. Often — fortunately — I’ll get over it. Sometimes, however, I wait myself…
Rhubarb Rose Upside-Down Cake With Pistachio Crumb
What do I even say, after an absence of two years, that doesn’t sound completely trite? Steven and I got married last year, and we added a sweet little furbaby, Olive, to our family.
