When I go to a Superbowl party, I like to camp out by the food table. I mean, I’ve said it before and I will say it again…I hate football. The only interesting thing on the TV all night will be the commercials. And with the exception of some creative and hilarious Snickers commercials a […]

Am I the only one around here whose entire refrigerator door is filled with salad dressings? I think not.
