wrinkleinthepage- Blast from the past...with a new twist July 27, 2012Reblogged from : BROCCOLI-QUINOA CASSEROLE You remember this dish… from every church pot luck, community cookbook, and Gramma’s table. Yes, THAT broccoli-rice casserole. Bubbly, cheesy, rich, and so very good. Old-fashioned comfort food, personified.

July 14, 2012So yesterday I ended up doing a lot more than expected, I not only tagged along for Zoey’s visit with the congressman from Nevada, but I tagged along for Paige’s visit with Rob Portman. We weren’t allowed to go anywhere alone, so it worked out that our meetings were all at different times. We also [...]

- The Power of a Picture July 12, 2012Someone can close their eyes, but an image can not be unseen. And when their re-open their eyes, it will most likely still be there. Carol Guzy’s photographs are those type of images. I knew I wouldn’t make it through her presentation without shedding a tear, and sure enough, once the images of NYFD firefighters [...]

- Neil Liefer July 10, 2012The phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” is used to describe many great photos that captivate moments in time. In the case of Neil Leifer though, a picture can write a novel on the events he captures. Leifer shot the iconic picture of Muhammad Ali in his last big fight that showed the [...]
