The group of friends that my wife and I hang out with often get together to play some no-limit Texas Hold ‘em. For me the game’s been interesting to learn but not something that’s grabbed hold of me over the long term. So over the years I’ve had less and less reason to actually go [...]

Crab Rangoon or Bust
First off the filling was just awesome. The cream and goat cheese combination with the rest of the seasoning would be great on crackers let alone wrapped inside fried wonton shells.
