Boomer Magazine: March 2020
We don’t go out to dinner all that often, so recipes and interesting foods I can make at home always catch my eye. I shall channel my inner Irish and attempt to make Boxty (for the recipe, see page 57). It looks relatively easy to make. I’ll report back next month to let you know how it turned out! Hopefully a little luck ‘o the Irish will help me create this yummy dish. Do you hobby? Yup, I just made that noun into a verb. I guess my hobby is exercise, but more than a hobby, it’s a lifesaver—reduces stress, keeps me healthy, and my bones strong. I am not very crafty, although I’ve tried different things over the years but nothing I could really stick with except exercise and reading. My mother was into needlepoint for a few years and was SO into it she needlepointed a wall hanging that is bigger than any wall she had to hang it on! Check out some ideas for you to hobby it up on page 40. There’s so much more in this issue of Boomer. Visit some fabulous local museums (most have free days once a month and senior discounts). Maybe you’ll even find a passion for volunteering at one of them. And if you want to travel someplace “out of the box,” immerse yourself in a story about the trip-of-a-lifetime to Turkey. I won’t be visiting there anytime soon (haven’t saved quite enough coins in my little jar), but I’ll enjoy reading about it while sipping a cup of Irish coffee. There just happens to be a recipe for it on page 54. Happy St. Patty’s Day! We’re all Irish on March 17! By Debra Linn Associate Publisher

The original location for this expanding Sacramento<br />
company was once a warehouse for another<br />
Sacramento pioneer: Eppie’s Restaurant. Now with four<br />
local sites, they’re a Sacramento success story. Not just<br />
a coffee house, the “Alley” is home to their baking and<br />
roasting operations, retail café, educational center, and<br />
event venue. Old Soul Co. emphasizes and practices<br />
local, artisan craftsmanship in brewing, roasting, and<br />
just about everything they do (and that’s pretty cool!).<br />
