I bought this sampler of oils and vinegar at the chocolate festival over the weekend, and it’s embarrassing how much of it I’ve already eaten. Particularly that sundried tomato bistro oil. It’s essentially a combination of olive oil and balsamic…
The neverending move
As much fun as I had at MaxFunCon, and I had a ton and do not regret it one iota, it has made this move last forever. I’ve still got boxes in the livingroom, the silverware that got left behind…
