 The other day I was reading a post in an online magazine Better After 50, about learning new things, and in the comment section was a question about using chopsticks. There were also instructions, as well as a video about folding fitted sheets. No doubt you’ve seen one of them but just in case, here […]  Sometimes I must make heroic sacrifices in the name of research, and I made one such sacrifice this week. In case you haven’t heard Dunkin Donuts has come out with a version of Dominique Ansel’s Cronut. As you know a little over a year ago I tried the original, and then tried a version from my favorite […]
 Leaving is never easy, and when I finally made the decision to go, I found myself figuratively awash in a bowl of sorrows. Concurrently I was making pottery for the first time in over twenty years and decided to make a literal “Bowl of Sorrows” into which I would try to pour all of […]
 I have been staring at my waffle iron since I got it, “Wanna Waffle?” it taunts me. Yes, I do, but I really need to get the whole waffle concept, and I’m a bit ashamed to admit it, I needed to take a bit of a scientific approach. I Googled, I searched, I read, I […]

Peggy Gilbey McMackin - Another good story Nancy. I too have taught many people to use chopsticks, but then have two adopted daughters from Korea, so we got folks used to the idea right from the get-go. People did get into it. I’ve never heard of the online magazine better after 50 but shall check it out, all except, on how to fold fitted sheets, that is. I keep a pretty clean house and hardly need anything further to add on a neurosis!
nrlowell@comcast.net - Peggy, I think you’ll like BA50, and they are often looking for recipes! I spend a lot of time wishing I were a better housekeeper, time I could spend actually cleaning…
Pretty Wellness - What’s funny is that I actually know how to use chopsticks, but I was so curious how to articulate it. You did a great job and I enjoyed reading the post.
nrlowell@comcast.net - Caryn, I really had to think hard (and I hate that). Thanks!
