It’s A Tillamook Cheese Kind of Sunday at the Manse
The Lady slept in today (which for her was 6am) because the US Open coverage was starting at 8am…but it was rain delayed…again. It gave her extra time to come up with ways to spoil The Man and her favorite Feline Foodie (that would be moi) and so far she has done a darn fine...

Tillamook Ice Cream
So…I know I’m wandering off the reservation with this review…and I place every bit of the blame right smack dab at the feet of The Lady…when The Lady decided to un-retire and return to the 9 to 5 (yea…right) life, she made a deal with The Man. The deal was that she would bring home...
