The Gourmet Touch: Yes, you can have dessert with breakfast
Brighten the morning for family and friends by adding a homemade coffeecake to the breakfast menu. Although many people can enjoy a slice of coffeecake with their cup of coffee and call that “breakfast,” I consider it breakfast dessert (after the homemade biscuits, ham-bacon-or-sausage and eggs). Either way, it gets our day off to a good start.

Uncorked: Can you taste the magic dust?
For years, my path crossed with a fellow wine enthusiast at regional wine events. Inevitably, this gentleman and I gravitated to seminars featuring big, bold California cabernets.

When I first met her, my wife was present. I saw her twice after that, with my wife present both times. But this time, I was alone. She was in her late 30s, with dirty blond hair, blue-green eyes and a big smile. And me? Well, I had just turned 62.

It's a habit that has quietly gone from cute to disconcerting, and now it's starting to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Jellybean is no Jeffrey Dahmer, but her appetites are just as disturbing.

I love the little 1930s bungalow we live in. Original hardwood floors (all on a slant now), a built-in bookcase (with doors that don't shut quite right), high ceilings (I can't change light bulbs in some rooms) — it's full of charm and character.

Unless you are the type of person who pays attention to detail and has plenty of time, by late summer many parts of your garden may be overtaken by weeds. Little ones, tall ones, big ones. One day everything looks perfect and nice and clean, and then days later the weeds are taking over.

Do you remember peer pressure in high school? Remember how all you wanted to do was not stick out, not draw attention to yourself, be liked?
