What I think will be interesting to watch is the inevitable litigation as people who used LegalZoom to draft their Wills grow old and die and their heirs and heir-wannabes contest the Will with respect to both content and proper execution.

“Everyone should own at least one cast iron pan.”

I have no argument with your statement. But many (most?)  governments become concerned when birthrates fall, especially as they fall towards a less than replacement rate.

Tex-Mex flavors. Think of the possibilities!

These are spectacular. And goodness knows there are A Lot of indie authors with good books and dreadful covers.

Read the site Smart Bitches Trashy Books. Interesting reviews, reader comments, information about new book releases and ebook sales all with a generous helping of enjoyment.

Some ideas are so new to me and amazing that I feel a little explosion in my head. Melting salts. Roux. I can’t wait to be back in the land of jalepeños and green chilies (pepper jack and cheddar which doesn’t cost $7.00 for 8 oz) to try your recipe.
