Today’s 20 Questions is with Peg, over at Peg-O-Leg. Peg was the coordinator of the recent “Better Living Through Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups” onslaught that took the world by storm.  She’s a terrifically talented and prolific blogger who’s earned a spot as “beloved” among many people out here. She has been described by some (well, […]
