Jill, nothing Lil Duh Whine posts makes sense either, they're even. In
all these years have you ever seen anything either has cooked...???...
that's what I hought. Only thing is Duh Whine claims to cook all
sorts of fancy schmancyness. so I believe him far FAR less than I do
Julie. The food Julie says she cooks is so mundane I really don't
want to see it.
