I am a huge popcorn lover, as many close friends and family can attest to. And a recent article in the Toronto Sun reported on some research that states that popcorn is good for you. After doing my dance of joy to the Popcorn Gods, I made myself an air-popped bowl of those healthy morsels. Yes, … More Mexican Snack Food
I had good intentions. But it all went terribly wrong. After Armando gave me my amazing birthday surprise on Monday, I wanted to do a thoughtful gesture in return and what better way to do that than to make him a 5-course Valentine’s Day Dinner the next day.
