Monday night, the Geek woke up in the middle of the night and went to eat some cereal. Somehow, a bite of cereal managed to crack one of his teeth! He said it hurt like crazy, and was not feeling very well Tuesday. The dentist said the tooth is not … Continue reading
I have something SO awesome to share with you, I can hardly stand it! I can take NO credit whatsoever for this delicious concoction. Most of my recipes are my own creations, or such a major overhaul of someone else’s idea that I can still claim it as my own. … Continue reading
