Presentation is Everything: Fruit with Lime Yogurt
A friend lost her father in May. At 93, he’d lived an active, long, rich, productive life, setting personal and professional examples for family and friends.

Rhubarb Streusel Cake
The rhubarb is up in the garden. Stalks are short and tender, but red enough to harvest for a first Rhubarb Cake of the season. I didn’t like it as kid.
