“The only reason this hat did not receive 5 stars is due to the fact that I was...”

Subtle but funny: Calories for those that take the stairs. Death for those that don’t.
“And since you’ll be making this at Christmastime, there are no fat or...”
– Karen’s (of chookooloonks fame) take on holiday food whilst discussing her new banana bread recipe. Who am I to argue with science?
