Eat (sort of) like a President
BY:Josh and BrentWhat cook has the distinction of having had more of their cookbooks in America’s kitchens than any other? Julia Child? Martha Stewart? Jacques Pepin? Nope. Try First Lady Frances Folsom Cleveland. Okay, so Mrs. Cleveland didn’t do it herself. She had the help of fellow First Ladies Ida McKinley, Edith Roosevelt, Mrs James Monroe, [...]

Starting a New Presidents Day Tradition
BY:Josh and BrentPhotos of our Presidents Day Meal can be found at the bottom of this post. Why are some of our holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween) laden with traditions and celebrations, while others (Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day) generally amount to nothing more than a three-day weekend? Not that we have anything against three-day weekends, [...]

The Chatter for February
BY:Josh and BrentWe’ve lobbied really hard for Garrison Keillor to give up life in Lake Wobegone and move to Sharon Springs, but thus far he has not answered our letters or returned our calls. Sharon Springs has beautiful people and above-average children, too, so on to Plan B. What is a small town village without a small [...]

Valentines from Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham
BY:Josh and Brent“In doing a little research on the history of Valentines Day, we learned that during the 1800′s, Valentines Day wasn’t just a bounty for florists and candy-makers. It was also a boon month for printers, publishers, and hack poets. Every year several slim volumes of sample Valentines Day verses were published, to be utilized by those suitors and beloveds who might be a little poetically challenged.”

Rather than leading to our demise, the garden saved us. It recalibrated our lives so that we were more in-tune with the [...]
