My Glock 20 Joined Big Brothers – Big Sisters recently – Showed up with this little “sibling” – not being one to question 20’s motivation for being so giving of self for associating with any particular civic organization ( far be it from me to judge ! ) I will say that we will do everything to make his “little brother” welcome in the home.

And yes I have “served” people coffee in that cup -I mean if they can’t take a joke, right?

Although I admit to having never served the preacher’s wife coffee in that particular cup, it might be just what the doctor ordered – LOL!!

As I work my way through the cook book I will put some more “results” up.

Remember – Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and don’t forget – Fish Heads aren’t the only thing I can cook!!
