Kitchen Friends

April 11, 2012

Hanging out in the kitchen for me is often like hanging out with friends.  There are the longtime, steady friends that you can always count on right next to the new acquaintances who are quickly proving (or disproving) their worth in my health and lifestyle.  I imagine this is true for most of us who [...]
