December 6, 2020 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Once again, I say the world is different currently.

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
