CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS BLOG

Damit ! The stupid spel check doesn't werk four titles. Eye may knot yous it
anymore. It should have red YOUR SCRIBE THE GOURMET.

YOUR SCRIBE THE GOUMET

We gourmands are well known for our love of fine foods. We are adventurous and love
all foods ( Except for oysters, snails, egg plant, rocky mountain oysters, liver except for
pattie de foys grass, and a few other things too numerous to mention here. I will explain
as soon as I get out of this parenthesis )

A new taste treat which I discovered recently is Orowheat sandwich thins. This consists of
packages of 8 loaves of bread, each loaf less than 1/2 inch thick and each loaf with only two slices per loaf. Both slices are end pieces or crusts which, on a normal loaf I generally discard as
inedible. Much to my surprise and delight, these crusts make for the finest sandwiches, or, if
toasted to a crisp and served with a fried egg are a gourmands dream of the perfect breakfast
dish. Kudos to Mr. Orowheat.

On an entirely different subject, it is snowing like mad even as I write and has been now for several hours. You Yankees may not find this worthy of mention but it is rare here. Houston will soon be paralysed. We have about an inch accumulation so far.
