Giblet overload!

Actually, there were no giblets at our Thanksgiving meal. That’s a good thing because I’m not really into eating the weirdo pieces of various animals. Just the muscle and a little bit of skin if appropriate, please. I just wanted to say “giblet.” We got back from our Thanksgiving adventure late this afternoon. I’m a [...]

It’s not Christmas yet, people!

It’s not Christmas yet, people!

There are very few things that I actually just can’t stand. Sure, I grumble about things on here quite a bit, but none of that stuff really angers me or causes me to lose sleep at night. In general, I just don’t care what other people do. One MAJOR exception to that, however, is people [...]
