 Fortunately the pounds are distributed in a pattern that stabilizes me! :cbc:

For some reason I look forward to my morning coffee tomorrow.
Weird. Was thinking something similar about an hour ago.

I'm drinking mine, just now.

 I'm drinking mine too, right now!  Coincidence, or conspiracy?   :tinfoil:

It's an ADMIN conspiracy. :tinfoil:

Driving through Wyoming (or Utah, not 100% sure where I was at the time) last week, I saw an honest to god cattle drive. It was pretty cool.

In a poll with > 30,000 votes the asparagus came out as most popular vegetable in Holland. Followed by green beans and witlof after that. (not sure how objective this is though)

What vegetables could people choose from?

I know far more people who are disgusted by asparagus than by witlof. And witlof isn't a favourite fore lots of people either.

I love all three of the mentioned veggies btw.

Thanks for the facial expression.

At least half of the people I know reacts like that when hearing the word asparagus.

They could choose from 62 different kinds of vegetables IIRC.

(going to search for it and maybe post it here later.. if I can find it)
