Corned beef dip is a creamy, tacky, barely tangy dip generously crammed with chunks of corned beef together with a little bit of sauerkraut and caraway to offer it that unmistakable Reuben sandwich taste.

Once we first found her music, like so many others, it was her ever-popular track “David Duchovny” that made us chuckle and hear once more. Nonetheless, there’s much more to her music than simply that catchy track. Her sound is exclusive and considerably gritty. Her music is a mixture of rock and pop, in a method of city people music that I simply love. Robust vocals and guitar carry many of the songs. I actually like each track on the album – and they’re all so completely different!
