Ok I have to ask. Maybe you can answer. Bc seriously –Wtf is up with pimento cheese. I. Just. Dont. Get. It. How is it even a thing?
Man, I think people like it because it’s cheese and it’s super versatile- sandwiches, grilled cheese, as a spread on crackers. But it is just NOT GOOD. I don’t know if it’s the pimentos or what. Braum’s sells a pre-made tub of the stuff that Johnny will get every once in a while- I always eat a spoonful and gag just to remind myself that I hate it.
Interesting….horses aren’t one of your favorite animals? 😛
I figured they were a given. 😛
i’d rather be schooling xc too haha. and am also pumped for Gina going foxhunting!!!
Take Isabel foxhunting!!
I’d rather be in a hot springs!!!
RH: Men in Tights is amazing. I need to go rewatch that now.
Nice job with the dogs breeds! 🙂
Or “dog” breeds. I CAN type.
Agree times a million. Jello and pudding are so gross!!!!
