Not following it much at all. Life is too short.
The NY Times has far better recipes.
An excellent article in the NYT today:

I leave my yard in forest, though I do remove lower ladder fuels to reduce wildland fire issues.
I think I mentioned, and perhaps shared a photo, of a protest that shut down several blocks of the middle of Cambridge last October when I was over there. The energy put off by the crowd, and the...

I theorize that these protests are increasing the likelihood of a Trump victory in the coming election.

I'm still paying off my daughter's student loans from Princeton, and she graduated in 2018. I'm down to about $25k from the original ~$260k. She received a fine education there, though there were...
