The cat-fights continue
Ever wonder where the ice cream sundae was born? Ithaca, N.Y., would have you believe it was first served there in 1892, when Chester Platt mixed vanilla ice cream, cherry syrup and a candied cherry. But the people in Two Rivers, Wis., disagree, saying no, it was really born there in 1881, when Edward Berners mixed ice cream and chocolate sauce.
"Officials on both sides said it isn't clear yet how these "sundae wars" will play out."
Personally, it's my feeling that it's not an ice cream sundae until it has chocolate sauce and a cherry on top.

Hey, thanks for the mention in the newspaper!
How are you doing these days? My husband is scheduling gall bladder surgery soon, and I've been thinking about you.

No problem! I accept bribes in the form of homemade bread ... :)
I'm doing fine, still have a few things I'm having problems eating, but it's getting much better. I guess it's probably time for an update post on that.
