It is May. Easter is past us and we all are ready for a long and quiet spring with enough moisture to keep everything growing but not five feet of snow which can happen especially around Memorial Day.

Hollandaise is one of the Mother Sauces and is perfect for spring due to its bright yellow color.

A: Only you can answer this question, of course, but I hope you’ll be honest about your motives—and if they are selfish or wrong, I hope you’ll ask God to change them. The Psalmist prayed, “Search me, God, and know my heart. … See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psal...
