Hi Alice,

I could lay all 15 of them out on a plate and eat
them really, really, really s-l-o-w. Maybe a Kleenex to
wipe up my tears, so I could actually see them.
Just teasing! I think I am funny. I only cry when I
hurt myself. (Not an admission that I cry.)

small as to not throw off the carb count. Like the way I use turnips
in my broccoli cheese soup.

Thank you!
