Checking out the "A-Team," a Tex-Mex Menu, and a Visit to the Apple Store
Last Wednesday on the Today Show, I demonstrated a really great Tex-Mex menu from the June issue of Everyday Food. I think you’ll agree that these recipes deliver the big, bold flavors we crave during the hot months of summer. Plus, this easy menu is great party food. Also appearing on the show that morning were the handsome stars of the new action film “The A-Team.” It’s always fun to be around cute guys. After the show, we popped into the nearby Apple store to check out some new gear for the iPad.
