Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everybody! I hope you all had the opportunity to wish a mother a wonderful day.  As for me, I spent the day with my lovely mother, doing the things we love to do together.  First we went to church (as any Italian catholic mother would do on Sunday morning) at the Minneapolis Basilica, then stopped by the farmers market followed by a lovely brunch on the patio at Barbette.  The rest of the day was spent in the kitchen making Sunday night dinner for the family.
As I get older, I realize that I am more and more like my mother in so many ways. Thankfully, this is a good thing.  She is incredibly selfless, always willing to give a hug, and offering to cook something.  I get my love of entertaining from her and hope that someday I will also have dishes for every occasion and decorations for every holiday. She is the most beautiful person I know, inside and out.  I am so lucky to call her "mom."

I look at this photo and it seems ages ago. I took it while laying in the sun on a hotel rooftop in Miami. In reality, it was only taken 3 weeks ago today almost to the minute. Since then, a pandemic has taken this world by storm. Mother Nature is shouting from the rooftops and people are being forced to listen. We are being told to stay home, don't leave the house unless necessary, and practice social distancing. Such a funny term: social distancing. What will this do to human connection? To human culture? Behavior? Our future perspective in this world is about to go through a massive shift. "Are you ready for this," Mother Nature asks? I sure wasn't.  I have been learning so much about myself in the past 2 weeks.  How does one react in vastly unknown and uncertain times? I am no longer in a rush to do things.  It's strange, I never felt that hurried before but now there is ample time to focus on things I didn't spend that much time on before. Connectin...

Superbowl Bites

By
Even though I played sports in high school and I like to watch sporting events, I don't follow sports teams too closely.  However, I have many fond memories growing up watching football games on Sunday and Monday nights in front of a crackling fire and snacking on mom's appetizers. So to me, watching the Superbowl is about being with friends, eating some comfort food, and yelling at the guys who get paid millions of dollars a year to catch a pigskin. My sister is hosting a Superbowl party this year and in order to keep her sanity, it's potluck style. Here are some of the bites I'm thinking about bringing.

Is this thing on??

By
So I found out that it's not a good thing to pay for a website, and then not blog on it for a few years. So in the blogging world, I've lost a few years of my life there.  But in reality, so much has happened. I've taken on some new roles in both my professional and personal life, but I'll go on more in depth later on. For now, let's give this another go.  Ready, set,  Blog!
