Welcome to 2011 everyone. We have made it and now have a month under our belt. I hope everyone out there has been able to stay warm though this crazy winter.

I've seen the classic nachos, dip and Budweiser. Slightly upper scale events include pigs in blankets and maybe some mixed drinks. Some have even pulled out shrimp [...]

There are some issues (layout and proximity to I-95), though for the price they got great deal. The house was originally priced at $3.25m a [...]
