CB’S Extra RK Treats OOEY GOOEY AIN’T NO FOOEY Who doesn’t love a good rice krispies treat? I’ve been enjoying these since the 70’s. They were always at the school bake sales. Invented in 1939 by two Kellogg’s employees in Battle Creek, Michigan, as a promotional vehicle for the cereal. These are an American …
Hibiscus Tea It’s Juneteenth Y’all! A Well Needed Refresher The struggles are real. Some self-inflicted. I have a few friends who blog or put out something ‘weekly’ on the internet.
