Gnocchi and Chicken Sausage Soup / Bev Cooks

Bappy Balemtime’s Bay! (yes I’m that troll who still says it that way.) I made you love soup! It’s love soup because you’re going to have a full blown heart attack once you find out what’s in it.

Monthly Mixtape: Tonight Tonight Tonight

We also won’t even talk about what that sentence even meant just now.       (photo via the interflex, but I tweaked it a little, because I just can’t let things lie.)
