Well, I can’t say this description hasn’t piqued my curiosity... Read more

I’m laughing at the phrase “one of my wife’s aunts got to it” Read more

Very true, although between being stopped in the buffet line by well-wishers and then using dinnertime as a moment to go around to all the tables and thank everyone for being there (and maybe take photos with each table of guests, too), your own mealtime gets significantly shrunk down! Read more

The smell definitely brought back some memories! (Whether or not that’s a good thing probably varies for us all.) Read more

Aw man, really? That was the flavor I was most interested in trying.  Read more
