After you've worked up an appetite from all that reading and chuckling,
check out our friend August's online compilation of our favorite recipes.
She calls it: "Yet another diversion for those of us trying to quit the
nasty habit of smoking!"

[And, as Jef. put it....
"It's another little glimpse into the lives of our peers. Aside from the
facets of themselves they reveal thru their writing
and the exchanges of information and humor we see here, we now get a sample
of their taste in food. How interesting!
How civilized! When's dinner?"]
