“Anyone who can’t figure this out is an idiot!”

Posted on August 29, 2020 by Kathy

People will fight about anything–I am now 100% sure. We were forced to buy a new Cuisinart food processor this week. (Our old one just celebrated its 20th birthday, give or take a half dozen years.) We chop, slice and … Continue reading →
