Let us all pause and say it again... THOR... RAGNAROK. Have you seen it? Have you seen the other Thor movies? If not.... WHY NOT? So I've been watching from the beginning. Honestly, before I even made the whole Marvel connection... I mean... it's Thor. The Marvel...

Seven Layer Overnight Salad
As a child of the 70's, I ate this salad a lot. It was honestly one of the only salads that I really enjoyed. As an adult I have discovered that a lot of people somehow missed out on this culinary delight/trend in their own childhoods... such a shame. It is super...

Witch Stones!
Since I was a child, I’ve had a bit of an obsession with rocks. I think this mainly had to do with growing up in an area with some spectacular rocks to collect. My favorites were what we called sparkly rocks which you mainly find around creeks. Most of mine I found...
