The Dinner Challenge: Day Two

Dinner challeng day two can't make up for last nights flop but it got an all thumbs up from my people. Last night was a strikeout, but tonight was a home run! { Sorry, I don't know why I'm using baseball analogies — I don't even like baseball! } Tonight's dinner was Beef and Tomato […]
