Years ago, I took up jogging, and after a few months of jogging regularly, I got patellar tendonitis in both knees and had to do six months of physical therapy before I could bend my knees/walk up [...]
Homemade chocolate chip cookies have to be my favorite dessert of all time. They’re a simple, humble dessert. There’s nothing gourmet about them. But when they’re fresh from the oven, warm and gooey (no crunchy, crisp cookies please), and served with a glass of cold milk… Ah, that is heaven my friends. At least [...]
