She left a lot of friends behind when she went to school in Alabama, so there will be much reconnecting with them. <br /><br />As for the food... Spanish food, Cuban food, Armenian/Lebanese food, Italian food ... and some pretty darn good chili :-) At this point, I think she'd even welcome plain old meatloaf because it's home cooking.<br /><br />BTW I haven't always been a foodie... When I was newly married, I burned water once. Really. I've learned a lot over the years.

If that's the case, then it doesn't matter who runs the country... so why not the GOP? <br /><br />Maybe our disagreement has to do with state vs. federal powers. I don't like the feds having so much power over our lives. Case in point: the Boston marathon bombing.<br /><br />I know you're not from Boston, but how do you feel about the feds going house to house and searching for the bomber? Wasn't it a bit hostile to search someone's house without a warrant? <br /><br />I'm not looking to be hostile here... just an honest discussion.<br /><br /><br /><br />cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.com
