Isn’t getting older and growing up great? No, I’m not going to start a rant on aches, pains and bifocals, I’m totally serious. Getting older has been a heck of a lot of fun lately.

Moist, tender/chewy sandwich rye – is there a better companion to ham and Swiss?

If you’ve never traveled to Europe, you’ve probably never experienced a true continental breakfast.
