CharRay7 I hardly go out to eat anymore because of the economy and since my hubby and I split, there isn't much money to go around. However, when I used to like to go out, I would much rather have a buffet. Now I realize this is probably not the most healthy way to go,...

Salt Shaker! Do You Taste Your Food or Just Start Shaking??

artistry @artistry (4151) • United States 21 Dec 09
