Look, I’m very stubborn; stubborn as a pissed off mule on a Monday morning. Really…grahhhh Ok, ok, I’m not. Persistant maybe, but I’m not sure that’s the same thing. That, and all it takes is an attractive women to make me cave (see how I’m admitting this once \* you \* post…lose the contest for me, will ya? ;)). I’m such a push-over **sigh** heh 😃 And it really wasn’t my fault that there were two foot flames leaping out of the oven…really. The almonds were toasting one minute, flaming the next (no toaster oven, and this had worked before). A some water took care of it. However, it got me out of years of having to cook dinner–leaving me free to do it when I felt like it. 🙂 ---

never had a kiwi? Well, it’s green inside, just a little squishy (if just ripe), and nice and sweet too (just like you ;)). Now go find yourself a kiwi 🙂 ---
