Someone at my chapel at college made those bread-y bits! And we even got red wine instead of the usual yellow vinegar. SO TASTY.
lisa, the last thing I have from you is from about 10:30 or so, querying on whether to take the lightrail (which I haven't replied to, but yeah, that's probably the best plan.)
Nothing is in my spambox.
