Ok I'll start this month. We went to our favorite Mexican fast food joint, Taco del Mar, in the next town over last Thursday. We ordered our usual, 2 small burritos and a coke to share. When we...
Still love The Tightwad Gazette books!
I too take a dim view of tax reform done by someone who so obviously favors the ultra rich and corporations. One thing's pretty certain though: In a few weeks we'll see a whiney tweet saying...
Exactly rosarugosa! Just like we fund public: police, fire, paramedic, school and library personnel. We recognize these as things that everyone needs and which everyone should have. If the rich...

Great news Selah! I love that bread but never buy it because of the price. Would you be willing to share the recipe?

Excellent article. I gotta say I think most Trump voters are deeply delusional if they think they're ever going to land those kinds of jobs. Especially with the union busting that's taken place and...

Hmm...Label reads "light tuna, water, vegetable broth and salt" I'd be willing to bet the soy is in the vegetable broth. Probably just a trace amount of soy sauce or something. Gluten comes only...
