Lemongrass and garlic (from your other post) are favorites around here! You are one mean cook

Doug, Oh no you don't! lol, FlaPoolman is correct when he writes "There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works." :woohoo:

eenie meenie

RU Eggsperienced, Sure wish I were sitting on a beach in Malaysia with some Singapore noodles, Penang curry, and Rendang. That would be the sweet life!

eenie meenie

Dennis I'm not certain that's a fair trade. I think you'll wind up with the short end of the stick! :laugh: Seriously though, I will trade you Asian for ribs. Are they better than CWM's? :woohoo:

I'm up in surgical path all the time. I'll have to make a point of going over to the lab area to meet you sometime soon!

eenie meenie

Truth be told the pineapple wasn't ripe enough. Fortunately, the ice cream salvaged the situation!

eenie meenie

DOW, do you suppose that's where the 'meenie' comes from?

Little Steven
