G eorgia is on my mind as I sink my teeth into a corn muffin that, along with a clove-scented sweet potato muffin, launches dinner at Evening Star Cafe in Alexandria. The golden snack sports a moist crumb and, unlike too many corn muffins in these parts, leans savory rather than sweet. Read full article > >

When I had my first baby, I was amazed to see how quickly I, a right-handed person, learned to accomplish certain tasks with my left hand while holding my daughter in my right arm. “Look at me, brushing my teeth like a born lefty!” I remember thinking on my first morning as a new mom.

She didn’t cut her teeth with live coverage of strip-mall blazes in Sacramento. She never did weekend weather in Wichita Falls. She didn’t blow the lid off mail-order ham scams in Des Moines.
