Which would be a little, hm, mismatched. Also, how did you take the picture?<BR/><BR/>But I shall not long ponder these deep thoughts, as my own hand is currently wrapped around a giant mug of café au lait (well, okay, au rice milk, but still), garnished with a heaping teaspoon of Billington's Dark Molasses Brown Sugar, which my kind aunt picked up for me on a jaunt to Paris. So I am, as they say around here, all set. And just a bit distracted. Mmm, coffee. What were we talking about again?<BR/><BR/>I don't have my copy of Tim's book yet.
