When I was entering 8th grade, my school system added girl’s basketball to the extra-curricular options. I lived in Iowa, and at that time, Iowa played 3-on-3 basketball for girls. Delicate girls couldn’t be expected to run up and down a full court, so we had three forwards and three … Continue reading →
The beauty of recipes is they can be varied. My friend Tammy has some great recipes. The one we’re trying today is BBQ Ribs. (Tammy hasn’t added any new recipes in a while — maybe she’ll consider it.) I’ve made this numerous times with boneless pork ribs. Today, when I … Continue reading →
