This year, for Valentine's Day, the San Antonio Zoo says the perfect gift for your loved one is a Madagascar hissing cockroach.

And you know you wanna do something nice for your S.O. on Valentine's this year, but you don't want to look like you're cheaping out. So that means just putting in thought or effort, right? Right. So what would I recommend?

So in the spirit of culinary inspiration, what have you tried recently in the kitchen that surprised you? Have you tried a new protein or a new recipe and were surprised at how well it turned out? Or did you try a new twist on an old favorite just to shake it up?

What I guess I'm saying is, sure, we have a few Mexican restaurants. But... who in their right mind would say "No Thank You, I Would Not Like a Delicious Taco Today." (??)

The other day, I went to the People's Republic of Walton in order to procure said felines some kibble food product. Well. I think a lot of you pet owners out there know what happened next.

And you're learning a skill that is going to be heckin useful until the end of your days. Don't believe me? Let's go into the theater of your mind, shall we? A journey into a wondrous land of imagination.

Wanna go somewhere for a nice Spring Drive? Sure, let's hop in the cart - because rolling down windows is for SUCKERS! Got a kid with a license, but no car yet? Let 'em take the cart to the high school dance! Grandma's tired of super high insurance premiums? CART IT.

I decided to compile some of my favorites from this past year and list them all here with a few of whys and hows. I know fifteen might SOUND like a lot, but it's not in comparison to the rest of the year.

Having said that, I'm still not going to put it on the list next to the best Christmas movies of all time. I still think it's more of an action movie set at Christmas time.

What are some of your Hidden Gems of Sedalia?  Is it another retailer, or maybe your favorite part of a park, or a historic site, or something altogether different?
