Mother’s Day Crab Cake – Floyd’s Crossroads Pub

Location If you head out to western Howard County, you may happen upon this unassuming gem of a restaurant known for it’s crabs. It’s also known for having weird operating hours, so I’ve never actually been there. But now I have eaten their crab cake. For Mother’s Day I knew I wanted to eat a…

Crab Cakes – EC Diner

EC Diner From the road the EC Diner looks like a classic east coast diner, and that’s what it is. It has a vast menu of comfort food items and “crabby” servers that make you feel at home…if you are used to diners. If not, you might be a little wary of the place. I’ve…

Vacation

Last week we went to the Outer Banks with my sister and her family and my father-in-law and his girlfriend.  It was a lovely trip and we all had so much fun.  For the first time in many years I got to swim in the ocean and I came out feeling rejuvenated.  It was like…

We Need Things To Change

I really wanted to end this month with something positive and uplifting but I can’t.  Today I want to throw things and kick and scream and I’m so angry and sad I can barely even speak.  I’m angry because it isn’t fair.  There are things about our society that aren’t fair and are so stupid…
