For the last year or so I have been opening my mind to new possibilities. Yes, I joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which has introduced me to many veggies I have never seen before, let alone cooked. That’s why my family now eats stuff like parsnips and fennel, two veggies we’d never heard of, let alone eaten. They are delicious, by the way. (Well the fennel I still have issues with; I mean it smells like licorice but isn’t candy. Isn’t that false advertising?)

I realized the other day that my family recently passed our 15th anniversary since we moved to South County from the Midwest, and that I'm approaching my 10th anniversary of writing opinion columns for the local paper. How time flies when you're stirring the pot.

This is a fun and exciting time of year. The holidays bring lots
