  • Courier Cookbook Easter Ham Leftovers

    Apr 23, 2025

    Nothing says Easter like an Easter ham. Now that the holiday is over, what do you do with the leftover ham? Ham sandwiches only take you so far. Take a look at some inventive uses for that succulent piece of tasty protein. QUICHE LORRAINE Adapted from themodernproper.com Quiche Lorraine typically has cooked bacon as a main ingredient but ham works just as well and sounds fancier than "Ham and Cheese Quiche."

  • Let's Talk About...Waiting

    Elise S. Marylander|Apr 16, 2025

    Ok. Why is it when you have a doctor's appointment, you are asked to come 15 minutes early to "check in and fill out forms?" I try to do that ahead of time from home, but I arrive early anyway because they asked me to. You arrive early, they check you in again, and then you wait. I have clocked over a 45-minute wait before hearing my name called. You are then escorted to an exam room where the nurse or assistant asks a few questions (most of which you already answered on their forms), types on...

  • Courier Cookbook Salad Dressings

    Apr 16, 2025

    With warmer weather and lots of fresh vegetables available, salads are sounding very appealing. Whether as a main course or a side dish to your upcoming BBQ, the dressing makes the salad. Try some of these to brighten up your salads and get away from the bottled and powdered alternatives. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry and spice drawer. RED WINE VINAIGRETTE This dressing is good on anything but try it with a salad filled with kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, tomatoes,...

  • Let's Talk About...Hotel Reviews

    Elise S. Marylander|Apr 2, 2025

    Ok. It's that vacation planning time of year. After figuring out the when and the where of your trip, you inevitably find yourself swiping Tripadvisor trying to find the perfect hotel or Airbnb to settle in for five days away from the luxuries and familiarity of home. Location, amenities, size, and local food options all factor into this daunting task. As any seasoned traveler would tell you, ratings are not always helpful. Why do the Travelodge and the Four Seasons have the same rating? A five-...

  • Let's Talk About...Dress Codes

    Elise S. Marylander|Mar 26, 2025

    Ok. I am confused by dress codes. They can be problematic because there is no consistent rulebook. We recently received a wedding invitation that said "semi formal." I thought that was pretty straightforward. Semi formal seems to me to mean men in suits and women in cocktail dresses. I am so wrong. After attending a couple of "semi formal" events, I realize that today, "semi formal" means simply "not formal." Basically, I think it means that you can wear anything you want, except a tuxedo. If...

  • "Stranger to Myself" by Jennifer Svendsen

    Jessica Checkas|Mar 12, 2025

    In the novel "Stranger to Myself" by Jennifer Svendsen, the main character, Rebekah Lark, has a supernatural experience where she switches bodies with another character known as Caroline. Both characters had been in comas at the same time, and Rebekah had earlier had difficulties with out-of-body experiences due to an accident that resulted in brain damage and serious migraines.

  • Let's Talk About...Tying Your Shoes

    Elise S. Marylander|Mar 5, 2025

    Ok. You know how they say, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" Well, Benjamin Franklin was right. For example, do you tie your shoelaces once or do you double-tie them? Yesterday I was walking Emma, our dog, and I nearly tripped on my untied shoelaces. I looked down to see one foot on top of my lace and thought, "I could fall head first onto the pavement and break a hip or something." What is so hard about double-tying my shoes? It isn't hard to do, but it takes longer than tying...

  • Book Review "Penitence" by Kristin Koval

    Karen Sherlock|Mar 5, 2025

    "Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done." - Bryan Stevenson This quote presages the crux of a central theme of "Penitence," a novel by Kristin Koval and helps explain the book's title. Penitence is regret that rises to the level of sorrow. Sometimes it leads to penance which fuels action that is aimed at restorative justice, at reconciliation, and perhaps forgiveness. Koval asks the foundational question whether a terrible, unconscionable, one-time act can ever be forgiven and,...

    Ok. What is on your mind these days? If you are like me, your mind has become a little numb during the recent deep freeze. Below-zero weather snaps happen every year, yet they always seem to take everyone by surprise. I hear, "It is so cold out there. It has never been this cold." It has. And it will be again next year. I am not a meteorologist, but I think we are probably about done with this year's deep-freezes. "Whew!" Right? Not so fast. Don't wish it all away. Do you remember Admiral Boom...
