Bare shelves where the bread should have been.

I'm having beans for dinner. Better open the windows.

10. I bought a ski bag years ago from a guy in Salt Lake (Ski Trucks - great store) who
was just like him. Funniest purchase I ever made!

3. Dunno.
I stopped there on my way home from work. Maybe EVERYBODY ELSE had run out of bread over Christmas, and there was a Bread Rush on while I was slaving over a hot text editor.

4. I watched this recipe when I woke up
Edited on Thu Dec-27-07 01:55 PM by supernova
this am. Looks good, except for the chicken stock. I suppose you could use veggie stock instead. What intrigued me were the lentil crackers. (I can't do flour, so I'm always looking for alternatives).

6. To light a match...or not to light a match ...
that is the question.

To release the sulphurous fumes of damnation, or to penitently sit in one's own pew.

Bon apetit.
