Sweet And Salty Blueberry Popcorn
After watching five whole (brilliant) seasons of Friday Night Lights I should probably be a football expert but, guys, let’s be real: I was only in it for the life coaching (Coach and Tami Taylor, right, y’all?). And Saracen. Let us never forget dear, earnest Saracen. And also for Tami’s hair. How I wish my hair would…
