every day living with a touch of creativity
The big game is this weekend, and even though I am not overly concerned about the outcome, I am concerned about the food. Super Bowl Sunday is one of my favorite eating occasions of the year. It is the only day of the year when it is perfectly acceptable to each junk food all day. [...]
