Greg and I celebrated the start of the long holiday weekend last night with pizza and beeritas on the patio. A few years ago, I put the beerita recipe on my blog. I thought that perhaps now would be a great time for a re-introduction. My good friend Michele discovered this tasty concoction at a…

not my cup of tea, but there are advantages
We’re still deciding whether to fix or replace our problematic washing machine (flood starter). I think we’re leaning towards replacing. Y’all know I like new and pretty.
