Once a year, or so, I go on a big trip. By big I mean international or at least cross-country. This year my trip is to England to see my best friend and her family. I tend to need a lot of preparation for international trips, which means I do not have a lot of [...]

Last year I visited my family in Houston and while I was there I had my first taste of Baked Potato Dip. It is a concoction of sour cream, mayonnaise, bacon bits, green onions, and cheddar cheese which is served with salty potato chips. Overall the dip is pretty tasty and I have made [...]
