The ingredients in your story need to compliment each other. Of course everyone has a different taste appreciation - I never understood the attraction of cabbage and carrots in lime jello.sandra seamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786095189231150008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624614653537130690.post-39876805165153689942011-02-13T12:18:17.936-08:002011-02-13T12:18:17.936-08:00Nice analogy Sandra!
