    It looks like we're still on the lazy-ass canned food "series" :p I can't believe I haven't tried this little can of deliciousness before, minced pork in bean sauce! It's, again, SC's recommendation...(it sounds like he grew up[...]
  • Recipe A Season of Convenience
    A Season of Convenience
    That sounds like a romance novel title, doesn’t it? As you know, it’s tax time and that’s when I do my usual disappearing act.  I also rely more on convenience foods because it’s just one less thing to have to think[...]
