Learning Through Teaching

The joke goes that those who can’t do, teach. And while I’m not going to agree with that entirely for obvious reasons (although I do think that in many ways we’re drawn to things that we love and want to do better), I will say that one thing is definitely true: those who teach, learn. [...]

What’s in Erin’s Fridge?

I have Mother Nature to thank for the relatively clean and organized state of my fridge these days. In August it got a thorough scrub after we lost power for 26 hours during Hurricane Irene.
