I eat a lot of crap food and want to start eating more tasty things with spices and fresh ingredients instead of box crap like Rice a Roni and such ( Read more... )

Am trying to work around a 5:00 worship service, present opening after dinner, playing of said present (a Wii) and then off to bed to dream of Santa.
