I’m not one of those people who has the same thing over and over again, I do like to explore new drinks and flavor combinations every now and then.

Stuffed Myself Silly With Stuffed Squid…
Seafood was always big in our house. I remember going fishing as a young kid, then coming home cleaning our catch and cooking (actually frying) for hours until we finished.

Greek Lemon & Herb Roasted Potatoes

Crispy Onion Rings Anytime…
I don’t know about you, but I am a huge onion ring lover from way back. I love my potatoes any old way, but there is just something extra special about a thick cut, perfectly breaded, crispy onion ring that puts me into happy land every time. I don’t eat them often, which is one…
