Today is Lemonade Day. Now stay with me here. Lemonade made me think Lemonade Stand or better yet Sweet Tea Stand. Sweet Tea made me think Southern. Where did that lead?

Welcome to another Tuesday. Now typically Tuesdays are all about something yummy from Mexico. While not exactly Mexican, think of this as Mexican adjacent or inspired. After all, it’s made with Mexican Mudslides.

It’s hard to imagine that we’ve reached the first day of May. I swear, the older I get the more quickly time seems to move. It’s a strange feeling to realize you have far more to look back on than you do days ahead of you. Nothing is taken for granted anymore.
