So, the other day a friend and I were talking about a recent Facebook post that backed up the post: You'll Gladly Die for Your Children; Why Won't You Cook for Them?. We were both frustrated and irritated. First, we both agree wholeheartedly that the eating habits we...
My Father-in-law owns a meat store where my 16-year-old has worked every summer for years and as a help to CJ's class fundraiser my FIL supplied the lunchmeat needed to make sandwiches to sell at school. The orders were in and CJ & I were driving home after picking...
