Thank you, Jack, for being a good sport! :)
First, I hope you won’t be too disappointed – in doing this, you have accepted the nomination and the award is yours. The “trophy,” as it were, is the sunshine graphic (which, as with all trophies, you may display proudly here or keep tucked away in your closet to smile over privately).
I had to do a bit of research on that tree – and learned that it apparently grows well in conditions like my back yard! Hmmm. It’s beautiful. Might have to look into that.
I see we have a great deal in common, but I’m intrigued by the suggestion that preference in flavor profile might be an ethnic thing. That’s something to explore, right there. And what you suggest could explain the whole business of “sweet and sour sauce” on everything… (I prefer mustard and those tiny hot peppers, and would leave plum sauce far from my roasted duck.)
So, Jack, here’s one more question for you: it’s your birthday. Someone gives you a calfskin wallet. How do you react? (Or do you not react at all – totally distracted by the fact that an American didn’t capitalize “it’s” up there?)
Yay, I won something today! Thanks, Holly!
Let me know if you ever want me to hunt for seeds. They grow nicely here and I can go into the back yard.
I have a funny feeling that sweet and sour sauce is a western invention though, just like fortune cookies and chop suey. But we’ll claim spaghetti, ravioli and pizza!
I’d be very happy with the present and thank the person. The Atlantic tells me that even in the US, one shouldn’t capitalize after a colon except in certain circumstances. That was not an implanted memory.
