We went to Serendipity for lunch. It’s located at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. This place is famous for it’s Frozen Hot Chocolate. Susan ordered one and I tried it. Good stuff! This is actually the main reason we came here – she’s been wanting one of these for a long time. Serendipity is also ... Read More about Serendipity

Sweet Potato – Two Ways
Oh my gosh! I feel like today was so crazy – I was all over the place, but I did get it all done :) However, I didn’t have any time on the computer so I have no idea what’s going on in the internet world.

A Real Egg
Since my breakfast was a fail yesterday I decided to try eggs today. I have a bunch of generic egg beater cartons, but was craving a “real egg”. So, I made an over-easy egg with toast.
