Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: I’ve learned some new and interesting things from “Salt, Sugar, Fat” by Michael Moss… Like Oscar Meyer had a bologna problem back in the 80’s and 90’s. Red meat was being purchased less and less as a result of the “fat is bad” boom from the 1980’s. Nothing new. However, Lunchables were created …
Good morning everyone! I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas! Book Update: I completely finished “Happy Money” and thought it was a worthwhile read. Although the jokes were… odd… for an academic book. It almost made me wish I had rethought Christmas presents. One of the main points of the book was to …

Like I said previously, I had a few desserts to make for our block party this Saturday. It turned out great!
