Yes, it’s the season I wait all year for … Chocolate Covered Pretzel season! I have a motto that goes along with this season, because frankly, Chocolate Covered Pretzels (CCPs) are yummy, but totally unhealthy, and notoriously fattening. That’s why I say, life is too short to eat inferior chocolate covered pretzels! I mean, if […]

In 1999, while six months pregnant, Curtis and I spent four days in the jungle near the Colombian border. It was an adventure that I will never forget! Bugs! Caymans! Piranhas! and when we returned to civilization (if you could call Lago Agrio civilization), we learned that while we were traipsing through the jungle, the Central Bank of Ecuador had closed all the banks in the country and we couldn’t leave Lago Agrio because we could not even exchange dollars.
