The spring gardening catalogs have already inundated our mail, which makes me daydream about warmer days. I probably have gone through them at least five or six times at this point, especially the section on herbs. They are okay dried, but I just love them fresh. I could almost smell them through the pages of the catalog.

  • Weekly family day shows we’re all together in this

    Every Sunday afternoon in Placentia, Calif., the Watson family gathers for Family Day.

    Although informal — most every Watson comes either barefoot or wearing flip flops — it has its own set of rules and rituals.

    According to Jennifer (Watson) Fiamengo, the rules mainly pertain to the food served. If they grill hamburgers or hot dogs, her mother MUST make her family-famous macaroni salad. If they have Mexican food, her mother MUST make seven-layer dip.
