This recipe has hints of Indian food without the knock you over spice. Everyone loved it and there were a few “words” over the last left-over. Print 5.0 from … [Read more...]

New Windows 8X HTC Phone Content and/or other value provided by our partner, HTC. I think it would be fair to say I am a smart phone virgin. I've always had fairly basic phones and don't quite get what all the hype is about. My husband has an awesome phone, but because he always has it on him I never get to play with it. I *just* learned how to make a call on it over the weekend and he's had it for … [Read more...]
