Giving birth is not a picnic, but it has its rewards. I didn’t have cravings while pregnant, but just after bringing my daughter into the world, I wanted to celebrate with bagel, lox and cream cheese, from Beauties of course. It’s hard to improve on perfection, but tempting to come up with a new variation on the theme….
Arugula Radicchio Goat Cheese Pear Salad
Have you ever stolen public property? My dad always told me that even if it’s just a paper clip, if it doesn’t belong to you, it’s stealing.
