Hi Dana, I am working on a article about how comfort food literally comforts…others. I am wondering if you have a story to share. Here are some examples of what I am looking for:
“The cookies that ended a stand off with my teen”
“The pot roast that won me the love of my life”
“The coffee cake that helped sooth a hurt neighbor”
“The banana bread that broke the ice with my new coworkers”

Dana, just wanted you to know that today I added your site to my recommended links.
And I’ve got a question: do you know Mark Bolduc? We bought his loft. cheers/ Rona

Thanks for adding my site - It’s an honour!
I know Mark very well. He worked for Martin for years. He makes a wonderful black currant flavored martini that only he can shake appropriately. What a small world!
He has a great eye for design as I recall. I bet his place was nicely done up.
