As I’m typing this post, I’m listening to Spotify.
Why, oh why, did it take me so long to try Spotify? I loooove it!
I was using Pandora before, but I’m officially hooked on Spotify. It keeps me company when I’m recipe testing in the kitchen or working on other blog tasks at my computer.
And I’m a 90s girl all the way. It’s my first play list of choice, followed by the 00s. And speaking of 90s, Mambo No. 5 just came on. I’m totally showing my age here, but this song was popular when I was in high school…oh, the memories! You just can’t help but dance when that song comes on, as cheesy as it is!
Anyways, I’ll get off my soapbox now and get right to the recipe. Because that’s what you’re really here for, right?
