Good with his hands, is he?

Hi BetterMostians!  A quick progress report frim Arizona.  Mkaela and I had a very smooth flight to Phoenix (we had to leave my place at 4:30 am to catch an early flight!), connected with our friend Marie and drove up to Sedona.  We stopped along the way and saw some beautiful Sinagua Indian cliff dwellings.  The scenery is amazing, and when we drove into red rock country there was much gasping, oohing and ahhing.  Later we lucked out and found a wondeful Italian restaurant where the food was really delicious and the atmosphere utterly charming.  We conked out about 9:00, having had almost no sleep in 48 hours.

Today we head up through Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon.  Wish you were here!

Is that "Maine" for "dumb as a rake"? 

[David In Indy]

Bananas, cheese, hot dogs and bacon! Don't forget the bacon, it is the piece de resistance! LOL

When it was described to me the day before (and the bacon was described as 'lard') I was really throwing up a little bit in my mouth. But I decided to be adventurous and planned on eating one and then ate two. Who knows, maybe I was starving. It wasn't bad, though. You might want to try it!

It must be one of those things where it sounds disgusting but all the flavors come together and compliment each other and it actually tastes good.

Sort of like dill pickles, grape jelly and chocolate.

I think you are exactly right. Although to be honest, I can't picture myself going home and making "Toasts" anytime soon for the family. LOL

No, the only time that would sound good to me was years ago at about 6 months pregnant !!!! and it was dill pickles, which I usually hate, with vanilla icecream.That and play dough   and paper.
 No Can't give you a rational explanation I'm afraid. Funnily enough it never seemed to tempt my husband .James however did develop a liking for play dough which he did not grow out of until he was about 7.and still to this day eats paper.Oh the sins of the mother !!! I do make sure it's recycled though.

James isn't the only one Fiona. I ate Play-Dough too when I was a kid. That and school paste.

And I was only kidding about the pickles, jelly and chocolate. I've never tried that before and it sounds terrible. I was just wondering what you all would say!
