Cousin’s Chili
I don’t normally complain about the food I get from Cousin’s Subs. Normally the service is somewhat questionable but the food makes it worth it.
But, I tried their chili last night and have to say I wasn’t very impressed with it.
I picked it up looking for something warm to …
Crispy Minis Delights snack food

Turkey Hill Premium Ice Cream Rocky Road
