Happy Monday everybody! I am out of the office today but still wanted to post something special and fun. I posted this 3 1/2 years ago and received a very good response as to what people liked on their toast. So I thought, readers have changed, tastes have changed – let’s ask again? What does [...]

I am working from home today with a sick boy and have a huge craving for bacon. I thought I would kick start your weekend with some pork fat goodness. You agree? One of my top 25 foods of all time – BACON. It came to me as I was eating the breakfast all last [...]
