- No worries, Veronica. The commenting issue was totally this user’s error (and WordPress antics) but it was mostly my forgetfulness!
- I love hummus but don’t think I have ever tried Baba Ghanoush. Will remedy that soon. Love your nails. I got my first pedi for the season yesterday and I almost asked for nail art. Maybe I will go get some decals instead.
