Inspiration Station: Meet The Parents
Wow. It’s been forever since I’ve done one of these posts. Hopefully it was worth the wait. The Dish: No fail, every time I’m eating Thai food (or even thinking about eating Thai food) I say that line “Jack talk Thai” from Meet The Parents. And then giggle to myself because for some reason I…

Inspiration Station: The Fault in our Stars
This month’s “Inspiration Station” is built around “The Fault in Our Stars.” I tried to wait for the movie mania to die down a bit and now feel like this is an appropriate time to revive one of the summer’s biggest hits. The Dish: Augustus tells Hazel that he’s using his wish on a trip…
