If you’re not quite sure what Ranzino.com is all about, well… join the club.
However, if you want to invest some of your precious time and energy into finding out what kind of posts are typical around here, that’s on you. But also, feel free to peruse this not-so-random sampling of written pieces.
Since Ranzino.com has been around for more than two decades now, I think how and what I write about has changed somewhat.
Except for grilled cheese sandwich news, I’ll always cover that pretty thoroughly.
In deference to this longevity an,d the inevitable shift (or possible lack thereof) in the maturity and tone of the posts, I’ve divided the pieces that are worth re-visiting into two separate eras that have no meaning other than they were nice round numbers when most recently I re-edited this page.

I was just wondering why you chose to name your website Ranzino.com? Ranzino is my maiden name and I did a search on the history of the last name and your website came up, so I decided to check it out . . . Maybe a relative? Then when I saw that your last name is Evans (my current last name since I married my husband 31 years ago), I just had to ask! Your pictures are very beautiful!
