Thank you Sam for your kind comments - great to hear from you. Yep, taters and termaters - that's how this old Hoosier farm boy learned to talk growing up in Indiana. Truth be known, I also like broccoli especially with a cheese sauce. Best on you - Bob H

Robert, Like this line "Prefer meat and taters", truth in words here. Still, broccoli's a nicer shade of green than kale. Happy New Year wishes. -Richard
