It was recently shared with the Odessa High School FBLA chapter that there was a need to provide some of the senior citizens in our community with home-cooked meals. Many were finding it difficult to prepare meals due to the difficulty of leaving their homes in the icy weather conditions or for health reasons, due to having no or limited cooking skills or because budgets were tight. FBLA members took action and cooked 500 freezer meals to be delivered in the near future to...

One restaurant serves avocado ice cream on toast, and according to the news article, it sells out fast so people line up early to get this treat. Have any of you readers tried this interesting concoction? A search on Pinterest turned up several recipes with quite varied ingredients, and judging from these recipes, it appears i...
