Ch-eating is way too ch-Easy

So I found a new snack that I just adore.  It tastes like love and bunnies in my tummy, and I could just eat them forever and ever.  What is this delicious new snack sensation that’s hardly sweeping the nation?  None other that the crunchy, Cheesy Cheddar BBQ Cheetos.  Oh yeah baby!

Cool Runnings

A Hunting We Did Go

It wasn’t long before my short Thanksgiving break that I was invited to go hunting with my brother in-law, Mike.
