My Catholic school never covered that. What an oversight.  Read more

I didn’t visit Fremont on this last trip but have been to the brewery before (maybe 2 years ago?) and got to try it on draft then :)  Read more

But why would you change the puppy’s name if it was already Chalupa.  Read more

I have definitely been tempted to add sriracha, sambal oelek, hot honey, etc., but I can’t mess with what’s already so good. Read more
