appreciating mom for her ability to listen so well, care so deeply and laugh much. nothing better than an evening of joan, cards, steaks on the grill, chardonnay in the glass and moby on the sound system.

While there, ROF made his delicious Hawaiian ribeye steaks that […]

Super Bowl Cocktail Video “Boston Cooler”
Since the Cowboys aren’t in the Super Bowl, this isn’t a big deal to me. ROF is rooting for New England. In fact, he is giving us all a refreshing cocktail to sip along with this scrumptious dip or these awesome sliders.
