Last year, I made wine gummies, and they’ve been a serious hit both virtually and in real life! I’ve been making margarita gummies all this time too (along with a few other cocktail gummies), but for some reason, I’m just sharing the recipe with you now. The trick with cocktail gummies is that you have …
Back in the 80’s, when I was a daily connoisseur and critic of the elementary school lunch offerings, I learned that (1) chicken patty days were relatively safe days to buy lunch and (2) ham patty days were most certainly NOT. It’s not that the chicken patties were delicious, but they were ok. And really, …

I hit 19 weeks today, and I can honestly say I am feeling much better now. I’m still tired. I still go to bed between 8:30 and 9:30 every night (which is definitely an improvement compared to before). I am able to focus better on my work because I am not so tired and I’m …
