Hi Ruth!

Yeah, kids can sometimes be afraid, or uncomfortable around things they haven't
been around much.. or haven't seen before.. I saw it with my grandson when he
was very small and he met up with his first nanny goat up close :)

Understand that one.. it was nice back then to run to Manhatten for things like
that.

Yes, it's not the same.. we're not big fans of Jay Leno.. if anything, we'll
watch Dave Letterman.. or the Discovery Channel.. (grin)

Isn't that funny, when that kind of thing happens?  It doesn't happen that
often but it does now and again.

Must have been pretty tense for all of you somewhat. :(

They rarely use "recipes" from outside sources any longer.. not like most
people do, at least.  They really can't.  To many of the ingredients are on the
"banned" list.  But you should taste the food they cook.. it's incredibly good,
needless to say.

When my daughter was little and she and I would be cooking a lot.. and we did
that a lot together (grin).. we'd be cooking something.. and we wouldn't know
how it was going to come out because we were improvising .. maybe making do
with ingedients at hand, or experimenting intentionally, or whatever.. we
called it "perfume" .. so now when people ask my daughter where she gets her
recipes from, she tells them, "it's just perfume!" :)

Take care,
Janis
