It is great to be back after a week of vacation when I read and read and read. We literally had NO plans, so it was really lovely to kick it back a huge notch, spend time in the pool, and make fabulous dinners from recipes that I have been saving. 

Thanks to all of you who sent us notes about our 30th anniversary and to those of you who donated to our GoFundMe campaign, where we are raising funds to redesign our editorial websites. I am working my way through emails and donation notifications. We are so looking forward to working on a fresh new look!
