It’s just way too hard to get chores, errands and socializing all done on the weekends. Many of our friends are retired or semi-retired and have availability during the week, so I often find myself entertaining on weeknights – or what I refer to as a “school night.” Here are my tips for having fun, […]
The older I get, the less I like meat. I hardly even eat chicken anymore. I’m not usually too big on grocery store rotisserie chicken because I don’t care for the spices they use, but Costco is the exception. Their chicken is actually famous with a cult following.
