Holy Vaccine Response, Batman

Meat sauce

Hello! I’m back again with another episode of “please don’t follow this recipe if you need structure” because, like pretty much all of my recipes, this is not the recipe for that. Today we have a simple recipe for a tomato based meat sauce using whatever you have handy. For me, that was: Italian sausagesContinue reading “Meat sauce”

Sanikind Sanitizer Dispenser Review

Covid threw us all for a loop last year, what with coming out of cold and flu season straight into a quarantine and not knowing who was carrying what illnesses, or even (for a while) what illnesses were all over what surfaces.
