Russell thought I was joking when i told him to tell me b/f he puts them in the pot so that I could leave the house and then was surprised when I yelled at him and flew out the door when he put them in w/o warning me first. He said no one had ever made such a request before.

They were creative preparers of food in ancient, or not so ancient times ...<br /><br />Smoke salmon I love .. but I definitely need more than two - and they'd need to be eaten quickly before the Kettle chips got soggy .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
