The usual ham, homemade mashed potatoes, peas and King's Hawaiian Rolls. Followed by the "Bunny Cake". It's really simple to make. I make one every year. This one is a lemon cake. I...

I guess because they're trying to skew it towards a younger audience, they had Seth McFarlane as host. My opinion? It sucked. He wasn't funny. It made me miss...

The very first tree we bought in 1986, had one trunk, but it split into two trees. They still...

Started out with the Nokia "brick" which I loved. Unfortunately, it was too good and Nokia made it a victim of forced obsolescence. A few cell phones later and I...
