Snap Crackle Pop!

Today I’m at the commissary with my friend Paul. He’s to blame for things like why I now have a GPS and this addiction to the Pioneer Woman’s website! (Military 101: The commissary is the grocery store on the military base. By regulation, it provides groceries to authorized buyers at cost + 5%.) Anyway, we’re … Read more
