My Partner is turning 50 this month.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It’s a big one, as birthdays go, right? So we’re upgrading our outdoor entertainment space for the party and I’ll share our best finds with you.<\/p>\n

I’ve been researching for months to decide how best to maximize our budget. This has been quite a project! But I think I’ve gotten some good bargains on quality items. I’ll post party pictures afterward!<\/p>\n

Slap Ya Mama Cajun Spice<\/a><\/strong><\/span>
Neither of us can live without this. We use it daily.
\"Slap<\/a><\/p>\n

Freddy uses these to cook the fish and veggies I like. They work on the Forman Grill, too.
