Yummy Meal Prepping

Hello ladies and gentlemen, guess what, I’m back to cooking. For a while my fridge was bare because nothing seemed enticing to cook, and also I was sort of embracing spontaneity and flexibility and going out to eat and all that.

There Will Be a Brief Intermission

I don’t know how much you were looking forward to my return to the stage this March. I certainly was!

Unfortunately, there are personal circumstances that do not permit me to do the show. I have to focus on these circumstances at the forefront before I can provide a new show date with certainty.

Although I want to keep plugging through, I know that my decision is for the best, and I will come back stronger, badder, and tougher than ever. Your ...
