For those of you that want to keep the reason you're thankful short this year, consider Aphorism. It means the finest thoughts with the fewest words. I'd like to say that this was an organic thought. A las, it was not. I found it in a book called I Really Needed This by Hoda Kotb.... Continue Reading →
TGIF: Betty Crocker Ovens Did Exist
