“The internet says the Best Before date is fake news.”

My original caption: “Do you like it? I got the recipe from that book you gave me, ‘Cooking For Dummies’.”
Congratulations, Silvana, on your third victory. That makes two in a row, since you won in Contest No. 232 also. Can there be any doubt that you are currently one of the funniest people around?

Hello Eli,
Silvana sends her thanks for your kind words.
This time, instead of taking her out for dinner, I will be making her dinner. I will likely run out of paprika when making the mashed potatoes.

Bring on the Cayenne, Chili, Habanero . . . whatever!
