See that post title above? I have a confession about it... I seriously almost used a more, shall we say, colorful homophonic version of the word "come," but chose not to because I was afraid it might be interpreted as vulgar. I may be salty at times with my language choices, but crass is something … Continue reading Come on in my Cucina

Sunday dinner out in the DelSo
One of the first images to enter my brain last Sunday morning came to me courtesy of an email from Living Social.
