It was about a week before we left for the Dominican Republic in February 2015 that I stumbled upon the news that Ringo Starr was performing at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, not far from the resort we’d be at. After some quick discussion, I ended up buying tickets for my parents, Shea and […]

We were both off yesterday so decided to visit the Rochdale Leopold’s (I’d been before […]
Shea: “Let’s try these. There’s no way a store would sell something that’s too hot. They probably put like a microgram of ghost pepper on the wings and they taste a bit hotter than regular buffalo wings.” Pace: “I don’t like hot food but I saw a video on YouTube saying ghost peppers are one […]
