Patrick and I live at different ends of the salsa spectrum. He is loyal to the smooth, almost soupy, and spicy salsas of the world.

As I am writing this, it is Valentine’s Day and I cannot think of anything more annoying than making my favorite brownie recipe and not being allowed to eat even the tiniest bite. Of course, that was the self-assigned cooking task for this morning. Damn you, Whole30 diet. I did not make the brownies to […]
