Kings Island WinterFest did not disappoint. We enjoyed our visit to the park as the last year’s was cancelled due to the pandemic. Kings Island did not miss a step since then. Our first stop was at the buffet at the International Restaurant. Seeing the insides of this facility was tops on my list for …
I volunteered to make the turkeys this year, one bird was 16 pounds, one 19 pounds. I hoped to smoke them, but I was not able to procure a smoker in time (or learn how to use one). Instead, we roasted them in our brand new oven (literally the second thing we made in it). …
