I often find news on the internet amusing. And when you see something on multiple websites, it must be a big deal. So, the potential for a new Frosty flavor must be huge news because I saw it everywhere. But right now, it’s just a rumor. Wendy’s isn’t saying anything, but if the information is…

One of the hazards of getting older is that we often have to start taking some medicine. And that’s not for humans; it happens to our pets, too. After a recent trip to our veterinarian, our cat Bizzie was diagnosed with thyroid issues, so she had to start taking medicine. The vet offered a choice…

One of my favorite meals growing up was fried shrimp and french fries. We’d buy the frozen shrimp and throw it in our deep fryer. I haven’t had any in years, but for some reason, I’ve had a craving for it lately. I rarely think about it since I haven’t owned a deep fryer in…
