My Family Table -A Passionate Plea for Home CookingJohn Besh
My Family Table is not just page after page of recipes and a few pictures here and there, Besh tells a story with each chapter and eat dish. He tells stories about his wife, Jenifer; and his boys, Brendan, Jack, Luke and Andrew; they make you feel like you are part of their family. His passion for his heritage, his community and his family come through on every page and in every picture. I cannot wait to to have the actual book in my hands. The photography, by Maura McEvoy and her daughter Oona, brings you into every moment of the story. The team of people who brought this book together have created a book that not only will be used in my kitchen, but also placed on my coffee table because it is of its beautiful photographs.

Think of the people you love. ![]() I started a GoFundMe campaign for my lifelong friend, John Shirk, to help fund a trip for him and his family to Disney World. Any extra money will be put towards medical expenses. In 2009, John was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer synovial sarcoma. In the past 2 weeks, generous friends, family members, and strangers have donated over $6,000 to John's GoFundMe campaign. I want to at least double that amount. I need your help! I am reaching out to my family, friends, and strangers to help raise money. When you make a donation add #MakeASmallDifference to the comment.

I wish it was better; honestly I was excepting to have gained weight. I wasn't diligent on my treadmill. I had days I ate like crap. I had to meet my new doctor and when I got on her scale mid January it said 208. WHAT?!? Wait! I had my snow boots, my phone in my pocket, and I had a bladder full of water in anticipation of having to provide a urine sample (which didn't happen) Maybe that played into the higher weight. I am only going by my scale at home to keep consistent. Plan for February:
