Although I agree with you in most matters, right down to peanut butter on toast and its importance in the diet, I here have to beg to differ. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is better than a ripe summer raspberry.
ReplyDeletePS, the Thai squash soup? You weren't kidding.
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmmmmmmmm. Permanently in the summer repertoire.
And yes, the car was totaled. Very. It sat, shorefront, at the local garage, giving our tasteful little New England village that touch of Beirut je ne sais quoi. Pics on my blog today.
DED, I'm not going to argue with you about raspberries vs. strawberries, because your car just blew up. Those pictures are nuts! And your tale of woe, though woeful, is also very funny. I'm glad you're OK and that you had a Good Samaritan to keep you company around the campfire. I mean, car fire.
