5 Questions from Snavy

1. Lime and the coconut - two great tastes that taste great together or a catchy little tune?

Coconut water from green nuts is a nice cool treat on a hot day. Fresh lime-ade is tastier than lemonade in my opinion. I am NOT a fan of flaked coconut in desserts. YUCK! And do not ever contaminate my chocolate with coconut. That is an abomination. Coconut bake is good. I like the milk used in Thai food. Just no desserts with coconut. Otherwise, it's two great tastes!

Of course, it's a great little ditty too...

I've got a lov-e-ly bunch of coconuts.
Here they are all standing in a line.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head.....

2. You once commented about limelette #1 getting into a brand new tub of petroleum jelly. Could you please elaborate?

It was shortly before I was due to give birth to the second precious Limelette while in Trinidad. I had set up the crib, changing table and clean clothes. I just had the tub of petroleum jelly on the changing table. One morning Limelette #1, who was 2 1/2, disappeared for rather a while. I went looking for her and found an empty tub of petroleum jelly, one very slippery slidey toddler covered from hair to toes in the goo (in fact she was combing it into her hair) AND a patch of the painted concrete block wall measuring roughly 3'x4' smeared with it. Did I mention that house did not have a hot water heater? Have you ever tried to clean one well greased toddler and wall without warm water or else try to prevent further expansion of the mess while you heat water?


3. What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen Lime, as it covers the distance from zipline to ground?

African or European Lime? Um, er....pretty damn fast! I looked up this to see if I could explain it. I hope it helps. All I can say is I don't want Galileo dropping me off the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate.


4. If you could have one wish come true, what would it be?
If I tell you, it won't come true, now will it???

5. There are five basic food groups. I know you'd love a sixth. What would it be and can you justify your choice?

C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E! You bet your bippy I can justify it! It's grows on trees therefore it is a fruit. We all need more fruits and veggies in our diets. In all seriousness, it does contains anti-oxodants which are good for you. The darker the chocolate the more antioxidants. These compounds prevent plaque build-up in blood vessels. Other chemicals in chocolate prevent plaque formation on teeth. It's two different kinds of plaque but you tell me what other food this yummy can make that claim. Additionally, after consuming chocolate there is a release of brain chemicals similar to the endorphins and serotonins released during and after orgasm. Clearly, this is a wonder food. Clearly it is good for you. Personally , I think all of its healthy benefits can only be magnified when combined with sexual activity. This also allows the burning of any excess calories it may contain thus negating any possible negative effects (i.e. weight gain). Don't believe me? Check here.
