Bacon and cheese make everything better. Just because I’m eating spinach every day, and often times in salad form, that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna have fun with my food. One of my favorite things to eat is a baked potato, and I love to load it up. This turned out to be so good,

I didn’t scream.” “Ok well, I asked the receptionist, you were the only one back there.” “Oh.” She didn’t remember screaming. All she remembered was, when she tried to look at the sonagram screen the
