They have been working their stops for 25 years and are 80 years old, respectively. It was the sweetest … [Read more...]

The Gluten-Free Thing.
I may have mentioned here, once or twice, how my husband decided to eliminate gluten from his diet about a year and a half ago. This has, ever since, all but ruined my happy culinary existence. Boo!
