• The Top 20 of 2020

  

  If it hasn’t already been said, Charles Dickens wrote the best summary of the year 2020, which is remarkable given that he composed it in 1859: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of…

• Top 12 Joyful Moments of 2017

  

  Greetings, dear friends. As we come to a close of 2017, I wanted to keep in tradition of writing a Top New Year’s list, but instead of writing about food, or pictures, or moments, or pictures of best food moments, I’m going to keep in the spirit of that which has played the largest role…

• Top 16 of 2016

  

  For me, and–dare I say–for many others, 2016 was a year of change. I once saw something that appealed to the word nerd in me. It said, “You must go through challenge to find change.” Maybe some of us have already made it through the middle (or the “lle”) of our challenge, or maybe it’s…

• My Top 14 of 2014, and a side of fruit

  

  Last week(ish), on December 21st, I was notified by WordPress that it was my 4th Year Anniversary as a blogger. Normally, I miss out this occasion. Not that I think I ought to be throwing myself parties or buying myself jewelry (or appliances), but the WordPress congratulatory note had a strange effect on me. As…

• Top Twelve of 2012

  I would like to do something meaningful, like “My Top Twelve Moments of 2012,” but that would get too gushy, or “Twelve Lessons I Learned in 2012,” but I’d quickly become embittered, so I will stick with: My Top Twelve Food Items of 2012. 12.  Extra’s Strawberry Shortcake gum Two years ago I wrote a…

• An Aussie New Year

  If you can believe it, I almost did nothing for New Year’s. Traveling for 5,493 hours (approx) will do that to people, make them want to crawl into bed at 9:30pm fully clothed and drooling before their head hits the pillow. Besides, I felt like I had a lot of cons working against me. CONS Residence…
