gathering dust!

Not THAT Mark. was his name Bittman? I mean The Minimalist, Mark
Bittman of the New York Times. Now who is being silly? I can't tell if
this is a joke and you're pulling my leg. Yes the parrot guy was a fun
fellow. BittNER, his name was Mark BittNER. Why would I be obsessed
with *his* cooking? He had a hot plate and was a bit of a nut.

You are pulling my leg. I remember your sneaky sense of humor, Jill!
Happy 5th of July...
