I also have Gordon's books and I don't get bothered by his mouthy mouth.<br /><br />If you know food, you also know he loves food and when he gets excited about fresh apples and just good things like that, well I love it.<br /><br />The book I have of his goes with videos as well. Love the learning. Very cool.<br /><br />PS: Yes, I know, healing takes time. Been resting for awhile now, thought my leg could handle sitting at the table.

I read about the Native Americans using their language as code during WWll - there are fascinating books about it. The sauce you're sharing sounds great! (As far as Mr. Cosby, I really have to stick with, "innocent until proven guilty." That attitude has served me well.) <br /><br />Have a great evening.Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-19116968549864869282014-11-18T11:25:16.259-05:002014-11-18T11:25:16.259-05:00Great before and after shot.

I agree with you Jo that women and girls were throwing themselves at these men in their young days, but people will always say there's no smoke without fire. <br />I can't believe you've got snow already - it's been cold here, but hopefully the snow's a while away. <br />Must try this recipe.
