"Oh, Brother" by Stephanie Dean

 – a repetitious exercise of accusations and denials

Trouble reared its ugly head again—with a vengeance.

Stephanie Dean has been sharing her passion for cooking with readers of local newspapers for several years. She has written more than 60 spirited food articles for her food column, Bless Your Spoon. Happily settled on a horse farm in Mocksville, North Carolina, Stephanie enjoys simple country living. On any given day, one might find her brushing oil across a canvas or hear her plucking the strings of a fiddle. Stephanie believes that whether creating music or good food or dabbling in vibrant paints and flavorful cake icings, the meditative practices are to be savored.
