Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.

tomatoes and champagne

� 2004 by Elaine Radford

I have over 350 photographs to sift through, so it's slow-going to finish up my trip report from England. Expect more later today.

On the home front, we are awash in home-grown tomatoes. For lunch yesterday, I made a simple pasta sauce with the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and a hint of onion -- delicious over thin spaghetti. For dinner, DH and I went to Vincent's, where I did my best with a huge filet but still ended up with leftovers. We picked up a good bottle of champagne on the way home.

The Mockingbird nest near my office window is still active, which keeps the Mockingbirds in the hummingbird feeder flight path. Mockingbird testosterone is at high tide, and whenever the Mississippi Kites try to return to the oak tree, they get chased off in a matter of moments.

Yeah, I know, right now I have "Part One" of my London trip report coming up twice in my archives. For some reason, diaryland isn't letting me delete the version with the typo. Argh.
