It seems I’m determined to start your day with food this week. 😄 I can’t help it, I guess. Anyway, they call this street cart fries. Before you ask, I don’t know why it’s called that. This was my lunch on Wednesday when we went out to this Mediterranean restaurant for lunch to celebrate a…
If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?
