You will never know how much you have helped to lift my heart.

Back in January I wrote a blog "The Sweetest Part of the Lobster", recounting bits and pieces of my family's lineage. Since that time I have learned a bit more and feel the need to correct a few points, not that it makes much difference in the big scheme

Let's talk food safety.
I am always a little puzzeled by the number of posts that ask the question, "I left __________ out on the counter overnight, is it still good to eat or should I toss it?" I am even more puzzeled by the number of responses stating things like "If it smells
