 ML> The almond was an unqualified success, I thought.

Indeed; I thought I said that, or maybe it went into a
draft somewhere and got lost.

It was a lowfat coconut, wasn't it.

Someday I'll get it figured out and maybe post more
about the picnic. Speaking of which, I remember Argentine,
Salvadoran, Mexican chorizos, but what was the fourth -

That's the kind of reasoning that can go around and around.
