...Seriously that was just mean. Now I'm hungry.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever read only one genre. I pride myself in my broad reading pallate. It's one of the things I've always liked about myself. With movies, music, and books, I've always been versatile and open. My collection of all is quite eclectic. :D<br /><br />p.s. <br /><br />any post featuring food becomes an instant fave. Also, I love that sonnet pic and might have to steal it and giggle.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915603693944523761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198218062395273015.post-90655980792038461862010-12-13T09:27:32.485-05:002010-12-13T09:27:32.485-05:00Dammit!
