Trim and Skim Fat

Recently, after extensive dental work, my dentist suggested that I go on a liquid diet. Being a girl from the south, I refused to drink only broth and water. Reluctantly, I went to the grocery store and bought the best soup on the shelves. I got home, opened the can and added my freshly ground pepper. Between the Novocain and […]

Detroit Travel – The Westin Book Cadillac Hotel – Legendary luxury has been reborn

One of the main reasons I came to Detroit was the fantastic architecture that this city has to offer. Detroit celebrated its heyday in the early 20th century when the auto industry took off and car ownership became available to common people. Bearing witness to this boom are Detroit’s impressive historic skyscrapers, particularly from the 1920s, buildings that still define […]

Where can I buy a Maine Coon cat?

If you want to buy a Maine Coon cat, you can think about looking at pet stores. This is not a good place to buy your cat. Legitimate breeders never sell in a pet store, which is considered the equivalent of “puppy mills.” If you want to buy cats from pet stores, you will not be able to see the […]
