I have that cookbook.

So do I. It's worth it just for the photos and stories.

My son ended up doing 55 miles, including some of the most difficult hills in the area.
Oh, how I wish I started cycling at a younger age...

That cookbook actually demystified iced tea for me. lol.

Karen

Demystified?
How so?
Don't you consider yourself a Southerner?
Iced tea should be like mother's milk:p

Yeah, I grew up in Arkansas, but my mother was from Chicago, and never made iced tea. So, while my aunts and cousins always had it around, and I often saw it steeping on the stove, I was never "taught" how it's done. It's one of those things that just "is"--seems obvious and every-day to them, but not to the uninitiated.

Yup, alligators have a huge burst of speed and can run up to 25mph for short distances...creepy!! Crocs are a little slower...still creepy.

The little ones can jump like 3 feet into the air, too. :eek:

Why is it that everything that wants to kill you can either run fast or jump huge distances??? *shudder*

:eek: AAGH! I didn't need to know that :eek:

I get to see my sister Sunday!!! :D:D:D

We were chatting on Facebook and it turns out we're both traveling this weekend.... to the same vicinity.

I'm jazzed. Even though the relationship we have is what we've been able to build as adults, at a distance of hundreds of miles, after we'd each begun to process our childhood(s), she is totally my hero. I don't get to see her nearly often enough, so I'm super excited.
