You've seen it, because Dean started it. I've not watched that much
college basketball since we came back from HI, and there it was the
occaisional UH game, live, with garlic fries.

Don't know, some of them would.

Not lamb and rice tho, Jenny-cat went on a hunger strike with that one.
Vet gave up and told us to feed her what she was used to eating.

No, but it was the pan we owned the longest. Runner up, and now #1 is a
9" cast iron I got as a wedding shower gift.

As I recall, these were completly GF.

We've not seen the green tea one, who makes it? Generally we buy
Chobani, in the 10/$10. sales.

Have to check it out when we see it, probably at Whole Foods.
