Today was a weird day to make dinner because one kid is at overnight camp and the other one had to work during the dinner hour. I had to cook lamb steaks because they were previously frozen and...

Today my son’s summer overnight camp in Gambrill State Park had parents’ visiting day. Parents were supposed to bring a dish to share for lunch. Everyone in his unit (besides him) is vegetarian...
