20-ish Dish: Working around late dinners

20-ish Dish: Eat your Brussels sprouts
There were several foods I never touched as a kid. Brussels sprouts was one of them. Not because I despised the taste. Children’s TV programming did a good job of branding the veggie as disgusting. My mom made some once, … Continue reading

A wise conversation with a centenarian
Last week, I interviewed a 100-year-old woman who still goes dancing with her husband once or twice a week. Gladys Townsend-Ensor can’t walk more than 50 feet or dance for longer than half a song, yet the effort to go … Continue reading

20-ish Dish: How to host brunch
Several friends and I started a semi-weekly tradition a couple of years ago called “ladies brunch.” We often gathered at Mezzogiorno at Central Market in York to talk about unmentionables over egg-white omelets and coffee. That tradition expanded to include … Continue reading

20-ish Dish: Upgrade your mac and cheese
