  I've had some pretty bad ones at the supermarket.  I know I've
  shared the story of the first time Andrea cooked for me when we
  were dating and she boiled a steak.  I don't think I've let her
  cook one since. :)

  The humidity is back here as well for a few days.  Not to the
  extent you are getting, but still "Feels like 38c" is pretty
  nasty.

  It has wheat in it, so I haven't had it in a while.  However
  I used to get the brit import version when I did buy it.
