Now that sounds like a good deal to me. I could definitely enjoy a good meal, and then not have to worry about the dishes. Ahhh a dream come true. ---

Nope, definitely not for men only. So, what else do you cook? _drool_ And, you’d better watch out for VB. You can _never_ tell **what** he’s got in that bottle! :eek: 😛 But, the brownies are out of this world…\ 😃 [hijack]Hi, GBS! 🙂 Thank you! {{{{{GBS}}}}}[/hijack] ---

Welcome and congrats on making friends so easily. Most people here usually manage to offend someone by their 14th post. I guess you might be considered an over-achiever or under-achiever depending on how one looks at it ;). So which are you? Over or Under? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by purplebear \* > \*\*So, what else do you cook? _drool_ There isn’t much I can’t make. If you can dream it up I can put it together. If I don’t know how to make it I can learn it in a hurry. I tend to be one of those people that cooks by what I think would taste good. Who needs recipes? They are only good for pastries. Duh ---

Save room for dessert, GBS; I like to cook as well! And purp, don’t give my secrets away, huh? And you can attest to my cooking, right? ---

I’m generally an overachiever. But hey, there is nothing wrong with being on the bottom, it’s one of my favorite places to be. 🙂 ---

**Duh** , brave words. I may have to put that to the test! 😉 I’ll do the dishes afterwards too. **VB** my dear, I most certainly can attest to your cooking. Simply put: _ **Nummer 'licious** _!!! \ _Culinary_, that’s what I meant! Geeesh, people!! 😛 ---

I am up to the challenge purple, please feel free to test away 😉 As far as the cooking thing working for me… I’ve only used it a few times, but at least I can back up my words. Hello again to all of you I have no addressed singularly, it is good to hear from you all. Well, back to the stove, I gotta finish up dinner!
