Dear Lish,
My you were fast! And both you and Dawn mentioned the one food that’s my top favorite and I didn’t mention it. Sushi. Sashimi, too. Nor did I mention the color purple. I ran out of time. 😉 Love seeing your list.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Sometimes I make sushi at home. Not uber fancy or pretty but yummy. (I think!) Sashimi is right up there on good things to eat. Happy New Year!

What a wonderful list, Lish! Imagine how many more you could have added with the five extra minutes you were allowed 😉
Isn’t it great that Dawn gives us the opportunity to stop and focus on the wonderful?

What???? Five extra minutes??? This shows how much attention I pay to instructions. I thought we could only list 50 items. Ah, well. Thanks for reading my list.
