It’s very popular (and available in many Metro areas), in fact they were featured on Good Morning America this morning. You should [...]

Penny for my Thoughts review: Boston Market holiday catering
November 19th, 2009 · No Comments
I’ve known Boston Market so long, I remember when they were Boston Chicken. I’m a fan of their side dish sampler (mmm, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, and creamed spinach); however, the service at my local Boston Market is slower than molasses.

Veteran’s Day Freebies
November 5th, 2009 · No Comments
November 11 (next Wednesday!) is Veterans’ Day. My father served in the Coast Guard during the Korean War, so it was always a celebrated holiday in my house. Were he still alive today, I’m quite sure he’d be plotting out the best way to take advantage of these freebies.
