Let’s get fruity!

by Nikki For years, I went to Baltimore’s Cross Street market just for fruit salad from a particular stall that has been there…oh…I dunno…since God said “let there be light” and there was light…and that guy with a bowl of fruit salad.

BF Survival Guide: Buffet Restaurants

by Nikki In general, we are not big fans of “the buffet.” Doesn’t matter which one you name, all buffets have one thing in common for post-WLS patients: they are NOT cost effective.
