Ever try Indian tobacco, Xanny? Wish I knew the scientific name. *sigh* Oh well, as a kid, I tried it, not too bad, but it did have a different flavour.

Here is a picture of graham crackers:

Grahams crackers? You mean JACOB'S CRACKERS surely?

...and those 'smores' things look bloody awful!
Now, have any of you tried a pastie?

No, no, no. LOL Silly Oggster.

Graham crackers are American and are called that because at first they were made of graham flour. They were meant to be *shudders* healthy, but they actually taste good, even to a four year old.

I suggest you try our local foodstuff, this is it

. Im sure Schu believed her pastie to be authentic but its not called a cornish pastie for nothing!

Cool to have a view.............I have a basement. No view.

I would hate that...I sometimes just stare out the window in a dream

Such pretty flowers, Schu! I have not had one of those before. I see you have some other plants there as well so it isn't lonely.

Yeah, aren't they fun? And the ones that grow upwards like an astropop, unlike the hemi brain celosias.
