Fat People Cause High Food Prices?
Now since we are blaming all and sundry for rising food prices across the world, why not include everyone’s whipping boy, the fat people?

Culinary Delights aboard a Cruise
This is part deux of our honeymoon cruise to the Caribbean series.

Chapatis for Peace

Early Thanksgiving
Ash and I celebrated an early Thanksgiving this past weekend. Celebrating Thanksgiving is as simple as hogging traditional American dinners consisting of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, French bean casserole, and a plethora of pies.
