For the granola bars, …

Collaboration in the world of visual arts is a rarity. But allow me to introduce you to a couple that have created a perfect blend of their skills.

NEITHER SHERRY NOR I grew up in the desert, so we are acclimating to what constitutes inclement weather in these parts. Our back yard on a rainy night. Photo by Sherry-Lynn Lee. I grew up on the East Coast, where the heat of summer afternoons was punctuated by lightning, thunder, and a downpour. In winter, …

My new favorite holiday dish is …

AS A CHILD, HOLIDAY dinners were quite special. Mom was an excellent cook and baker. We dined at many of the all-American meals: turkey, roast beef, ham, chicken (with dumplings!).
