In the Middle

Coping with aging parents, growing kids and everything in the middle

Take home chef

June

For those of you who waited in line at Stew Leonard’s yesterday to meet Curtis Stone…I know who you are.

I stopped by last night too. If you were there, you already know he’s the host of “Take Home Chef” and the author of a new cookbook. And yes, it seems he appeals mostly to women. Check out the scene last night, when Curtis did a cooking demonstration and then stayed to sign books and take photos with fans.

I saw maybe one man standing to the side as his wife waited on line. Funny, right?

I interviewed Curtis last week for a story that ran yesterday in Life & Style, so I already knew he was plenty charming. But I guess there’s something undeniably attractive about a guy who cooks — especially one who seems so intent on making his female companions happy as he’s doing it.

We always hear that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Looks like it works both ways.

About this blog

We've been called "the sandwich generation" and with good reason. Most of today's baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) are dealing with aging parents and college-age kids -- or starting again as empty nesters, adapting to a new life without children at home.


In the Middle will address a variety of topics, including caring for aging parents (medical, ethical, emotional and financial issues) and caring for parents long-distance (what do we do when parents live out of state, or are citizens of another country and we can't bring them to the U.S. for medical care?).


It will also cover the way we deal with the financial and emotional demands of our teenage and young-adult children. Middle age also presents its own "crises": How do we handle that first mailing from AARP? Preventive health screenings (like colonoscopies and bone-density tests)? What are the dating options for those who find themselves single in middle age?


In the Middle will explore all these topics and more, as we share resources and learn from each other's experiences.
