Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

My husband and I have been to Restaurant Jezebel several times, the latest of which was tonight. I keep meaning to blog about it and keep forgetting.

Good Mourning Tree Co. (or Good Mourning Tree Co.) has evolved! Woohoo! They have gone from littering my house to littering my blog! Well hey, at least they’re not killing trees for the paper to advertise now. Hyuck hyuck. I find it amusing that the name in the email address they used three times is [...]
