Meme about Me

DSC_0102

The ladies of [Eating Club] Vancouver tagged with a meme and I thought it would be fun to get maybelle's dad to answer the questions. Afterall, he is but a vague spector on this blog though a major force in the kitchen. HE likes to call himself a literary device because he seems to only be in the post if it helps the story. Hey, what can I say? I love to spin a yarn.

I had to look up kesar pisa: so, saffron & cumin? Is that correct? or is it the kesar mango?

Also, CURLING!! Hahaha... I've curled twice in my life. I really enjoyed it. But I can't get anybody else to go try it again with me. The interest is *VERY* low, I must say. ;D

"Favorite smell = Maybelle"
Aw.
