I think we are 'favourite food twins' (except the chocolate). When I was in hospital after giving birth my husband brought me in some sushi, prosciutto and blue cheese cos I'd missed them so much :)

I just love the Princess Bride!

Diane said...

WOW - I'm flattered! And I will fulfill my end of the tag as soon as I return from vacation and sober up (not necessarily in that order).

I'm working my way up to fulfilling my end of the bargain here too. Let me just get a bag of Cheetos to accompany all the hard work!
