Wonderful Things
Spring is wonderful. Here are some other things that are wonderful: 1. G.H. Cretors Chicago Mix popcorn.

REVIEW: Philips AirFryer “Frying” The Better Way
Fries are my weakness. Yes. I admit it. If I see poutine on a menu I'll most likely gravitate (and levitate) to that first. I'm not kidding. But it's a treat... yeah, yeah.
