      great one Teri

      And nice to see you ... where have you been hiding??

      I liked number 21, and I was not particularly fond of the vegetables, well at least the ones that were cooked in our household, so I used to trade things off with the sisters, and guess what, they are all grown up and well me, well you guessed it ... still trying to .... lol ah, I surrender, I am not going to ....

          Reminds me all too well of a wonderful era that seems so far behind us now....rather like admitting I grew up in "Pleasantville" or something!

                            These were all very good. I can remember them being used as I was growing up.
