-John talked about the recipe gone wrong at his house last night. They tried to make something new called "Easy Garlic Chicken," and the whole house smelled like a garlic bomb exploded. The chicken was not edible, and the house still smelled like garlic this morning. Cleve said the smell is actually a good thing because garlic can help ward off colds. So if you don't want to get sick, you should make this recipe, but don't expect to eat it! Tell us your "recipe gone wrong" story on the 88.3 WAFJ Facebook page.

-Cleve's cat, Possum, has a new hangout, thanks to 88.3 WAFJ listeners Larry and Sandy. They gave him a cat pedestal with a scratching post. Possum likes it, but he won't use the scratching post. He continues to scratch the furniture, which upsets Cleve even more. We welcome your ideas on how to stop Possum from scratching the furniture on the 88.3 WAFJ Facebook page.
