Traveling with Pomegranates
Do you know that I haven’t updated this blog in a long time? Of course you do — if you’re one of my four readers. My apologies. We’ve been cooking and posting on Saucy and Bossy and that has taken all the blogging life out of me — well, that and the insane amount of […]

Mameve Medwed’s novel, Mail is a funny little book. Written in 1998, it might technically be an early precursor to the whole chick lit genre that is now prevalent (is this true?
