The weirdest thing?
Originally posted 2020-05-28 17:21:57. Ok, so my BFF, Jess, and I were (what we call) running errands. At least that’s what we tell our husband’s 🤣 We went to Lowe’s home improvement store, twice, just two different stores. Then Home Depot. Walmart, twice (2 different stores).

Slammers
Originally posted 2021-12-06 11:00:00. Good morning y’all! Southside Market and Barbeque sent us some Sausage Slammers. They were deliciously … different. I mean this in a good way. I don’t think we’ve tasted anything like this before. They almost, I stress almost, remind us of summer sausage. They have cheese and jalapeno in the middle of the bacon wrapped sausage. As you take a bite the juices emerge and the flavor is right behind it.…
