Welcome to the ALL NEW Snack Bar. Here’s where you can receive bite sized portions of some really tasty treats that in most cases are just too good to keep. Now I can only call that a personal opinion, because it’s also here where I’d like to share some of the more eclectic pieces that have really grabbed my intention over the past few years. I will stress that sometimes it may not taste so good to you, but it’s all about trying something new… I can remember trying eggplant for the first time as a young kid. My mother told me it was french hamburger and I just devoured it… until I found out what it really was. Needless to say now that I am not a meat eater, I have broadened my tastes in so many ways with so many different foods. I feel the same way about music too. I hope that you enjoy the selections.
