Lots of Salt and Pepper Quotes
I love Salt and Pepper, especially now that my hair is in a lovely phase of the salt and pepper color scheme. Here on this site, I imagined the Salt and Pepper section would be the best part. I imagined family and friends using the site and telling me stories about food, family gatherings, and funny things people said. These quotes were supposed to be a place holder, but since nobody really talks to me about this site, I’m just filling it myself with this fun stuff. Here’s a pile of food oriented quotes.
