This is my latest and greatest, which came out pretty good.  J didn't squish ... http://www.spacemai.com/?p=870 What the heck eh? Food's been on my mind lately.  My sister-in-law made this when we were in Paris.  Quick and yummy.  I will post photos once I take them.

You see its too hard to do ... http://www.spacemai.com/?p=856 I am not even a citizen, but I do pay taxes. So it was a nervous thing to not be able to vote and have a say. But when Barack Obama  won I felt like it was the Edsa revolution, when people were in the streets and there ... http://www.spacemai.com/?p=854 I attended a Bikram yoga class after about 2 years of not going and I have forgotten how hot it could be!  Actually I think they got the room hotter than the 110degrees it should have been.   I felt like I would vaporize.
