Hey, Americans! Please vote. I won’t tell you who to vote for (though there’s a little part of me that would like to), but I do want you to fill out your ballot and help this democracy do its thing. In Oregon, we’ve had exclusively vote by mail since before I turned 18, so I’ve […]

Here are a few that had particularly good photos… Mae suggests these pumpkin waffles. Kierra offeres up this cute cake. Jenny wants to make these balsamic and […]

Watching most people cut watermelons makes me cringe. I have to hide my eyes when I see someone awkwardly wielding a huge knife and hacking at a ten-pound melon. I’d like to see the statistics on how many people lose fingers while slicing up a little summertime treat. It can be a dangerous activity if […]
