What’s in your stuffing?

November 16, 2011

I am a stuffing fiend. Turkey, meh. There, I said it. Everything else (food, family, football etc.) ties for second place. Stuffing is the true star of the November holiday meal from where I sit.

Tiny Prints wishes you many more birthdays (sponsored)

October 30, 2011

Tiny Prints has teamed up with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to fight for more birthdays and less cancer. I don’t talk about it much, because the C-word makes people sad and turns the conversation awkward — SPOILER ALERT — but here goes: I wish my sons could have met their grandpa rather than just [...]

You sign up online and then browse through their “current menu”, “past menus”, or just search for something you know you want to use, like “celery”. [...]
