    Cleaning and Caring for Roman Shades

    ByMary Crozier November 15, 2022April 17, 2023

    With the holidays coming and the expectation of house guests, I am trying to spiff up our home with some additional cleaning tasks.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    I first tasted these delicious lemon ricotta pancakes at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California many years ago.  These pancakes are so light and lemony that I can literally still taste them in my memory. My desire to make them at home is impetus for purchasing the restaurant’s cookbook, The Summertime Anytime Cookbook…
