Spiritual adviser suing Chesterfield County

Can anyone explain to me

How did the message of the New Testament get so far off track?

I think I'll start with the bacon wrapped, deep fried matzo balls.

Ensalada de Napolitos ( Cactus Salad ) - Had this today, it was great.

Well this is one gadget I won't be getting....I just don't get it!

I've never tried Fois Gras

Food Jammers

eek. this will be fun.

Cheese alternate for French Onion soup?

Who here was looking for an aebelskiver pan? This will be gone tomorrow evening.
