The Bitter Crunchy vs plain debate

Bitter Things that Won’t Go Away

Thanksgiving time is upon us, which means that most people will either take advantage of other people's hospitality and eat their food, take up space on their couch and leave way later than they should have leaving nothing but turkey bones and leftover scents(not the potporri variety) or they will have to host someone who … Continue reading Bitter Things that Won’t Go Away
