It's not as hard as yyou think it is? You can use your archives? And look up the idioms on the net? If I can do it, anyone can.<br />@ Gattina : Hmmm, priceless? Don't think so!<br />@ Robynn :OF COURSE you can!!! Oh my Robynn, you really are a very busy bee, but don't forget to eat? I had that salad at a restaurant when I was having lunch with a blogger friend of mine!! It had different types of salad, tomato, pineapple, melon, carrots, you name it! And baked chicken fillet. But they forgot the dressing and I did not mind. I don't like dressings much.Jientjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133675047491618720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421318492580363574.post-7373078081579738332009-09-24T09:57:42.527+02:002009-09-24T09:57:42.527+02:00Please let me post those pictures on the 30 Day Th...Please let me post those pictures on the 30 Day Throw Down blog, Jientje! I'll give you full credit!! THIS is what food should look like. Compare THAT to fast food. I haven't eaten since 2:30 this afternoon - no time. I'm doing 16-18 hr. days now. I've been writing and researching for seven hours straight. I should go to bed. It's 12:56 a.m. Of course, when I saw your food I remember I hadn't eaten. But I don't want to eat ANYthing but that SALAD especially! Did you make it or are you at a restaurant? I want to know EACH ingredient and what dressing you used. Okay. I might be stalking you now. This is going too far! lolRobynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421318492580363574.post-40046917486781561322009-09-24T09:00:23.843+02:002009-09-24T09:00:23.843+02:00Hahaha ! the picture with you is priceless !

I did not eat the whole plate, no, it was way too big for me. <br />@ Lou : Thanks Lou. You make my day. As always.<br />@ Bill : Thanks for the compliment. It should have been a better picture though. <br />@ Thom : Just know that I'm scared to death of being photographed by you!!! <br />@ James : Never mess with your wife James.

Isn't that one, if it isn't then it's better that I don't play ha ha...... I used boiling water and Rit dye, use an old jar and dye your button whatever color you want! Black for some reason only dyes them gray, don't know why. That beautiful array of tan to olive green is from tan dye.
