“I heard it from a friend who, heard from a friend, who heard that you’ve been messing around” Can you name that band? Folks, I’ve been messing around. That is on other food blogs. Some of you know that I belong to the Secret Recipe Club, it’s a place where you get assigned another blog, […]
This weekend we went up to the cabin, like we do most of the Summer time. This time McGyver suggested we go for a stroll through the woods. A stroll through the nice shady woods on a hot summer day, who could resist. We loaded up in the Rhino and Becca was coming along (Summer […]

The humble saltine, also known as a soda cracker, isn’t considered a fancy food.
