Tell us about your favorite dish that your Mom made.
People sitting around a table sharing meals together – moments we all can remember from some point in our lives. But here we are going to be focusing on the meals your Mom made and asking the question – did you have a favorite dish of hers? It is funny to me as I look back over the years eating my Moms cooking.

How far is it to the nearest big city and how often do you go?
Cities. Some of us live in them, some near them and some so far away the trip is wearisome. We would love to hear what your nearest big city is – and then, do you visit it? I am lucky enough to live quite possibly directly in the middle of two fairly “big cities” – Boston, MA and Providence< RI. Yet, I can honestly say that I can count on my hands the amount of times I have visited the city of Providence. Mostly to attend a theatrical production at the Performing Arts Center there and I did pick my brother up at the bus station for one of…
