I recently discovered “The Oven”. Call me silly but in my previous home, although we had one, I barely touched it. Now, I’m in love. Perhaps because this is a much better model than the one we had, and it has the perfect spot in my kitchen. I’ve already mastered quite a few chicken, red […] Read more…
They say, “Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it.” How many of us are okay with this? We wish for something so bad, and then when it actually happens, we’re not quite sure how to deal with it. Let me tell you a funny story all about this. It’s essentially […] Read more…
