Talerine Beef Casserole

Watson Yesterday, we lost our beloved Labrador, Watson.  He was 16 years old.  If you look up “dog” in the dictionary, there would be a picture of his face.  He was loyal, loving and his favorite pass time was barking at anyone that came near the door then he would wag his tail and kiss […]

Stir the Pot!

I’m sure I will get in some kind of hot water for this, but I suppose I should bring up Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress that she wore to the MTV Video Music Awards.  I personally think it’s brilliant.  I love watching all the “special” interest groups up in arms.   People take things way to seriously, […]
