PLAY TIME (If I can find any)
I'm still tweaking the new framework for my weekly menu and recipe links.

Y.O.Y.O = YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN

Nothing new this week.

HOMEMAKING TIP / PRODUCT REVIEWS
When using plastic ware for anything tomato or pizza sauce, a quick spray with non stick cooking spray will prevent the tomato sauce from staining your plastic.

Tired of sticking your finger reaching for your cake tester?  Add some wine, OOPS I mean add a wine cork to the end for storage and make it safer.
