I eat out often which is why I get food poisoning once a year. More or less. To avoid food poisoning and ending up in the emergency room, there are certain things I avoid. I never go near the salad bar, buffets in general and I stay […]
We all have a happy place. Even the most curmudgeon of us has a place that can fill them with some joy or perhaps less angst. I often describe myself as a curmudgeon because I am a snarky New Yorker. However, there are many that note […]
