It’s that time of year… the time of year where we fire up the grill. If you’ve never grilled a pork loin, you’re in for a treat! We often cook our pork loin in the crock pot… but when it warms up, it’s all about the grill. You end up with a delicious crispy crust on … Continue reading
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry was on the recommended book list a while back. I finally found the time to read it. And I’m so glad I did. This book was delightful, and I’m not one to use the word delightful often. 🙂 It was witty, and smart, and funny. I read this on the road … Continue reading
