Savoring the spicy moments

There was a day when my kids were peppering me with questions.  I thought "I need to salt this memory away because thyme passes so quickly."  Actually, I have to confess: that's only parsley true.  My friend, who is a ginger and a mom with a cockney accent was talking to 'er friend Cori and 'er mom when she thought up that joke.  When she told it to me - back when it was chili outside - I said sagely "you're a nut, Meg."  She sprayed me with mace.
