Summer is usually too hot for soup. That is until I remember how hot it is in Thailand. When we lived in China, one of the things I fell in love with from the very beginning was Coconut Thai Chicken Soup. Tom Kha Gai is rich with fresh coconut milk laced with lime and lemongrass.

If Your Clutter Could Talk, What Would It Tell You?
I have been looking at the clutter in my garage for 11 months now. Each time I walk to my car, I cringe. My body literally tenses up and I am ashamed I haven’t found the time to deal with this MESS. Each time I step sideways to get to the extra refrigerator, I wonder how long I can go…

Grace & Graciousness
Grace is that elusive quality of character and self-possession so much easier to spot and experience than it is to define. If icons like Aubrey Hepburn, Princess Grace of Monaco, or Jackie Kennedy Onassis come to mind when thinking of the word grace, you’ve got the idea. To be sure, all three of these women are on my hit list…
