Life Unwound: Getting up from getting down on ourselves
On a crisp fall afternoon with a cloudless sky and crunchy leaves on the hard ground, I sat at my desk.

Often served for supper a couple days after the big meal, you can even tuck in some cranberry sauce if you so choose. Use different varieties of pasta, cheese and vegetables, too. It wouldn’t be […]

Cooking at the Cove: Chicken Pie – The ultimate comfort food
Picture it: Bowdoinham, 1983. January. We were new here and needed to meet people. I herded my four young children (ages 11 months through 9 years) into the Second Baptist Church and, within minutes, the five of us were swept up into a grandmotherly group hug by the woman who would become our adopted Maine […]
