Rice Cubes

First of all, I’m not doing that great on finding time to post here. Ugh. Secondly, I took the pics for this post just before the light died for the day. I apologize for the quality, but when you get the urge to play with your food and decide you *must* capture the moment, you…

OK. So this has been a  seriously crazy time. Working retail at Xmas time is a total and I do mean *total* time and energy sucking time of year. Add to the mix, a serious tooth  problem, and you end up with like no time, energy or ability to do anything you really want to…

As shocking as this may seem, I am brand new to this whole Pumpkin Spice drink thing. Yup, for real. I had my first Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte while on vacation this past August. Now, drinking anything coffee related is a relatively new thing for me, I only really started experimenting with it about a…
