12. I'm not a dessert fan...

but grapes, apples and brie sounds awesome!

rock on...

ps: while working at an observatory in San Diego county, the head cook would always try to fill us up with processed sweets, which I abhor. She was one of those vegetarians who was addicted to sweets. Weird. I'm an omnivore, so yeah, I eat my veggies too. Anyway, after much bitching and complaining, "dessert" is now fresh fruit, with a cheese plate.

She may hate me, but my fellow astronomers thank me. (She also held back on the menu to make money, serving us lentils instead of a well balanced meal. Anything she could shave off the menu meant money in her pocket. Long story short, she wasn't fired, but now she's well regulated by the observatory's powers-that be. I put a stop to that.

As my collegues say jokingly..."I am Legend". (Sorry Mr.Will Smith!)



Yeah ...fruit n' cheese started a firestorm.
