Leonardo loved animals so much that he not only became a vegetarian, he also bought caged birds at markets just to set them free.<br /><br />Hywela, the puppy class was wonderful. There were 8 puppies altogether--all shapes and sizes--and a great time was had by all!<br /><br />Mary, I'm so glad Einstein and Leonardo agreed to disagree. I've got to tell you, it has not been easy working with either one of them! I'm more than ready for that drink, I think I'll help myself to another chocolate martini!Sandra McLeod Humphreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520092419227264264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-42924930520901400942012-02-18T20:08:09.773-04:002012-02-18T20:08:09.773-04:00Sandra, I see you survived the cyber explosion.

I envisioned you as someone who would throw caution to the winds and be the first one to explore everything here--especially the sea biscuits with their creepy crawlies, the grilled eel, and the spinach soup with hazel nuts.

My tastes are a little -er - conservative. (Not into weevils or eels!:) ) Isn't it interesting to contemplate what these famous figures would eat, something that one doesn't always think about!Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-23821822536375663162012-02-18T13:57:34.455-04:002012-02-18T13:57:34.455-04:00Thanks for taking the time to stop by, Rosy, and, ...Thanks for taking the time to stop by, Rosy, and, Olyn, be sure to sample all the wonderful and unique culinary offerings.
