Even though we don't get fall here, it sure doesn't hurt to pretend, hehe :)<BR/><BR/>Dhanggit: Oh, I cannot believe he doesn't like squash already! I think coconut (and maybe cumin and coriander) is a great addition to this! Maybe you would cut out the mascarpone then :)<BR/><BR/>Dr. Em: Can you believe I was waiting by the phone for you? Metaphorically so, haha :) No, no, you're not old, don't pay any attention to me! Actually I sort of missed the boat when it comes to bands like FOB, too. I just catch the occasional song and it passes through me like elevator muzak. Thank you for your kind words. I hope there's a BIG part of funny in me! ;)<BR/><BR/>Bee: Thank you! Delicious and funny, what more could a guy ask for? Ha ha :)<BR/><BR/>Zenman: Oh, please! You are definitely funny! Very smart and witty, and I enjoy the comic strips. It takes a twisted French mind, haha :) Thank you for the zen chef seal of approval!<BR/><BR/>Monkey: Hmm, maybe I was the twat to some extent. Ha ha ha. Of course, in high school, there were too many of those to compete with, so I settled for sad loony. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm never baked!

When a friend's daughter celebrated her 18thy birthday, the invitation came with a CD featuring Fall Out Boy song among others. Never having heard of the group before, I passed it on to my secretary.

I do hope you give it a try (and do better than I did).<BR/><BR/>Allen: Hah, you are flattening my personality too! But yeah, I've been told the Chandler bit before. I dunno about the Philippines.

But I do agree that we need to see ourselves for everything we are. I hate when people expect me to be a particular way all the time. It's stupid.

Those are things that I had always looked for in the guys I dated in the past. Joao is pretty goofy and that one of the things I love the most about him. He makes me laugh and I feel comfortable enough around him to be silly, too. No judgments, no pretending - just trying to be happy the way we are.<BR/>I am sure that there are smart women out there who will be able to appreciate the many qualities you have. And who will know that no one is one way all the time. We are good, bad, altruist and selfish... All at the same time. That's what makes us so unique.<BR/><BR/>AS for the risotto...
