Ten klicks in 31 minutes? That’s like six 5 minute miles, back to back!
But I can see the thong suit exclusion. Everyone knows thongs go on your feet.
LOL ghotiphaze –
I don’t wear flip-flops – they make blisters between my toes. I imagine a thong would have a similar effect on another part of the anatomy.
But a one-piece thong bathing suit would still cover more than an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny bikini, so Florida’s legislation seems inconsistent – a not uncommon trait of Floridian law-making.
As those who followed Joy of Fishes’ accounts of the Celtic Lassie’s kitchen adventures, we know she loved to experiment. Both of us really like onion rings, but it’s hard to find good onion rings. Certainly not those gummy round things one gets at most fast food restaurants, that are always over or undercooked. She stumbled onto this recipe one evening and we watched it together. We got the Panko crumbs and she was planning to make them the week she fell and broke her pelvis. I have not made them yet, but will do so next time we have company if they like onion rings.
The rings look delicious, but some of the ingredients are pretty weird!
..and fried chocolate onion rings!
Then you’ll REALLY need to walk the dog!
