I’ve had people actually laugh at this one so I thought I’d present it first. Laughable? We’ll see. A quick disclaimer, to hopefully lend some credibility: I am in no way a dietician. But this doesn’t require me to be. I know what I know and know what I see, and I’m systematic and dogmatic……

Kitchen Supply Reviews
I’m having to replace all my kitchen things and why is a long story I’d rather forget. But I spent decades collecting and assembling the perfect tools for me and my cooking methods. All are gone.

¡Ay CARAMBA! – What a Week!
