Cute, clever and tasty, Tom. I must have salt and pepper in most things I eat. [Another love of mine is hot Chile pepper; I add it to sauces, stews and salads.] Regards // paul

Thank you very much Paul, my father loved salt and used to shower his food with it he lived to the grand old age of 92. Tom

Congratulations on your savory win Tom! Nothing bland here! A pinch of salt and a spoon full of sugar surely make every season of life tasty and sweet! And, we are called to be "the salt of the earth" flavoring life with faith. Well done! Hope you are well. Congratulations and high fives! Over Fork Over!
