Saturday Sites: Week Forty-Eight

The most popular Google-searched Thanksgiving dish state-by-state.  I don’t know what funeral potatoes, spinach maria, cookie salad, frog eye salad, mirliton casserole or snicker salads are… I equally love this song and this video. Although I don’t think I’ve ever … Continue reading
