So…if you had absolutely no life, an abundant amount of time on your hands and no responsibilities and happened to have the interest in perusing the history of this blog…you would see that ground meat and I have a precarious relationship.

One of the things I love about this blog, and our communities on Facebook and Twitter is that it’s constantly growing!

Today (September 14, as I know I removed the date stamp from the blog!) is my mother’s birthday. She would have been 60 years old today. I can’t say these days are easy for me, but I will say that SO FAR I’ve been enjoying the memories I’ve dug up from the recesses of my mind. I’ve been looking at …
