After three years of requests from my children, I finally gave in and decided to help my kids plant a garden. I’ve never grown anything before. I couldn’t even keep a windowsill basil plant alive. So obviously growing an...
So here’s what happened…I was relaxing around the pool with friends while on vacation in Tucson. Grown-ups only. Minimal distractions. Piles of books we’ve been dying to read. Adult beverages. One of my friends casually mentioned that Instant Pots...
