“All You Need Is a Cat” by Michaela Dennean

Winston never liked England in March. He didn't like the unreliable weather, constant dampness in the air, and the seemingly never-ending days. It held a dreariness in it that no other months did. But Rosemary loved March, and Winston loved Rosemary. She spent hours creating shamrock garlands, baking loaves of Irish soda bread, and singing the Prady song in her soft dulcet tones. She ...

“Tea: A Unifying Force” by Michaela Dennean

The doorbell chimed, announcing yet another customer.  It seemed like everyone from the the island of Manhattan had come to Just a Cuppa to get a hot drink on that cold January day.  “All Too Well” by Taylor Swift flooded the tea shop, setting a cozy mood.

“Confessions of a Foodaholic” by Michaela Dennean

I crack an egg, careful not to let the yolk fall into the bowl. Just as I'm getting the last of the egg white out, the doorbell rings. I drop the egg in surprise, and the yolk completely splatters into the bowl,  ruining my all-egg-white-meringue for my latest recipe: mini dark chocolate pavlovas with a light whipped cream and drizzled raspberry coulis on top. I grunt in frustration, then wipe my hands on a dish towel a...
