the piece in the NYT Mag was good. I got some tips from it too.

If you can't pronounce a component to an ingredient, use less of it If it's a food not in the form it's found in nature, eat less of it If it's a vegetable, eat more of it If it comes in a grease-stained paper bag, eat none of it I'm not a farm to table, holier than thou food snob, but I do believe ...

I start early in the season back at home with 8 on my head. This allows me to go out in NC without always needing a hat. When on island, I'm almost always in a hat, with 15 or higher on my done. While I snorkel, I always wear a do-rag on my head. My "I have no hair moment" came the day aft...

Our daughter (twin to yours) had the same reaction to swimming at the Shed. It was the highlight of the trip for her and all she talks about still.

"I want to go back to see Miss Ruth and Mr Ron"

There's a reason we all love her so...
