It’s been a while since I made this. I have a fond memory of making vegetable pot pie for my neighbors on a snowy day many years a go. At the time, there were a bunch of us related by friendship and/or blood, all living in one building. We all ate this pot pie, went…

Quinoa Soup for Adventurers
I have been working all day and this morning I took out books from the library on traveling Europe. I’ve been reading them on the bus and getting excited.

Quarante Quatre Home-made Liqueur
I can’t remember how this conversation started. I suspect it was October when Rachel told us about the Quarante Quatre. It looks funny to type those words. When you say it as an Anglophone it sounds more like “Care Aunt Cat,” where aunt is pronounced in that British sort of way that sounds like you’re…
