The summer after I graduated from college, I moved across the country and in preparation for the program I was about to start, I enrolled in an intensive language program—a year’s worth of material crammed into six short weeks (though at the time, it felt like an excruciatingly long six weeks). ...

National Guacamole Day/Milkless Monday: Southwestern Egg Cups
Happy National Guacamole Day!!! It’s a fairly well-known fact among my friends that if there is an entrée that involves guacamole on a restaurant’s menu, nine times out of ten that is what I’ll order. I <3 avocados, but it was not exactly love at first sight. ...

In fact, it was a birthday tradition in our ...
