The One with the Love for Piano
Piano has played a part in my life since that first piano lesson in 1995. My relationship with this instrument (and the inseparable component of music) has ebbed and flowed over the years. There were months (maybe years, even) when I didn’t want to practice, the music was too hard, and I never played well […]
Creamy Pasta and Beef Casserole Recipe
I’m not normally a casserole person. In my mind, they tend to be unhealthy, too cheesy, too fattening, too mix-it-all-together-can’t-tell-what’s-in-it.
