Snoop Dogg is a rapper who enjoys a good joint now and then, in case you didn't… Continue reading Last Week Called for Bow Wow Brownies Minus the Wow

But, thanks to photographs, I recall my father wearing a lot of plaid pants and my mother wearing owl necklaces, bandanas in her long hair, and… Continue reading Mom’s Shrimp Dip Reminds Me of the 70’s
