No I am sipping from a 24 oz mug of cold ice water sitting beside me as I
survey the melting of the snow that fell this morning. The snow and the
melting there of has prompted me to grill. I feel If everyone grilled
today, that it would be a sign to the gods of spring and maybe spring
would finally get here.

ps I'm scared to check the mailbox...I might find myself in a different
town or at the car wash.

I saw elephant garlic for the first time the other day -- does it taste the
same? Just curious. Sounds wonderful the way you prepared it!

I will not use any garlic that is harvested with the use of elephant
slavery. Power to the Pachyderm, right on. All I am saying is give p's a
chance.

memories.
