About the sunflower seeds. Yes, I think I DO have enough, and who knows, maybe after a year, they will bring my flavor back?? By the way, it's not what you are imagining. they are not roasted in cheese. It's like when you sprinkle parmesan on something. It's like a seasoning that is just sprinkled on them and they are roasted in that FLAVOR, not really inside of cheese!!

A fun spring image, Jack. The other day one of my student screamed, "A worm!!!" We all thought there was worm crawling in her water or on the desk!! Come to find out, it was the cute picture of a caterpiller in the grammar book. Good grief!
