Thank you Margarita! I think the only way I can be helpful when it comes to cooking is to say don't be like me!

Love that you fashioned a limerick! Tickled my funny bone and I can relate to the Betty Crocker cookbook! Seeing the accompanying picture makes this even funnier. Congrats on first place, John!

So true, she is my lifeline! If I had been a lifelong bachelor, I probably would weigh 350 pounds from eating fast food every meal. Thanks for choking this one down, Sam!
