Dinner On Another Dazy, Hazy Day

Our girls went back to school yesterday (Friday) after 4 days of lazy haze holiday. But what do we know? The haze was really terrible yesterday when school was reopened. The acrid smell of the smog was horrendous and I was choking inside the house. I felt like I could not breathe. My nose and…
