Maybe a year ago, a coworker hooked me up with a guy who sells 50 lb bags of misshapen potatoes. And of course, when I picked up the first time, it turned out he’s a library patron I knew! In fact, after chatting with him during my most recent pickup, I even ended up sending […]
In light of yesterday’s post where I happened to share the screenshot a portion of a life advice article that said we should eat salted butter as life is too short for unsalted, I thought I’d post a pic I happened to snap at Safeway recently. Saying “life is too short for unsalted butter” may […]
