OK I raised my kids on Gold Fish crackers and KD – that’s Kraft Dinner not K. D. Lang. Some say that if you have a child until the age of seven, you have them for life and I think that they must be right, because my 30-year-old still eats KD and my daughter at 20, bought […]
I have a bilingual garlic keeper. OK I live in Canada, but to my knowledge I don’t think that I am required, by law, to have a garlic keeper that’s bilingual. Now maybe if I lived in Quebec, I might have to, or maybe it would be uni-lingual – French. Anyway, I have always loved
