What about that hotdish you made last summer when we visited you? (the hotdish that St. Aubyn and I ate 83% of) That just might be your signature dish.

Apparently this is where we sign up for your life list. Please do not neglect to include me in the following:

*Choosing your pug - because I not only have pug experience, but because we will need to be sure he has a personality that will allow him and Gus to be bff

*Watching triathalons - as long as they are not early in the morning and I am caught up on my sleep

*Eating your new signature dishes, as well as your neglected-from-the-first-list tater tot hotdish, which I am a little peeved you have not made for us yet

*Mini Coopers - obviously - mine may be nearer in my future than I had originally planned - if Sam will share his money with me.

*I would make an excellent "phone a friend" on "Millionaire"

*Paint something for my house - neutral colors, please

Also, I feel you could add to your life list - "Leave a comment on H's blog" - since it is apparently such a task......
