Tink, you passing on the Cock o' the North? You must be tired, hon, take my place on the fainting couch, I was only providing a dozing place for a cat anyway.( Which always reminds me of the story of the Chinese Emperor who cut off the sleeve of a priceless silk robe because a kitten was sleeping on it....my cats want him in their next life time).

Allen, I'm not sure I know what shad is, but they smell pretty good...I have never been one to let non-recognition of a food stuff get in my way of trying it...although the story of when I first ate raw fish bears repetition....but only to an adult audience and only when I have had enough smoothies :)
