We deliver laughter.


This van totally cracked me up. I posted it on my FB the other day, but I just had to post here too in case anyone missed it.
I was driving down Route 9 the first time I saw it and I just about peed my pants I was laughing so hard. I called my sister to tell her about it but I couldn't stop laughing long enough to get the words out to describe what I've seen.
I just can't imagine there is that large of a market share who really want a bright yellow van delivering 'adult' products to their home.
But there the proof is in bright yellow packaging.
I laugh every time I drive by.

White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip

My sister found a yummy (and pretty healthy) dip recipe. I had it over a yummy salad kind of like dressing ... also on bread as a spread to make a lettuce and tomato sandwich. Melissa ate it as a dip with carrots and broccoli to dip in it ... it was tasty any way you serve it.

The following blog was the original source ... It also has a picture and a link to instructions on how to roast your own red pepper:

Roasting the red pepper was super easy and it tasted so good!
