TBD now has 2,408 profiles at the time of this posting. So how about it---can we have all 2,408 people say hello to everybody on this thread??? Give us your first names. And maybe just for an added kicker--when was the last time you hug someone?

So hello all 2,407 of you people besides me! My name is Tom---(I know--first time you ever heard of anyone with that name--right?) I just finish hugging 3 of my 8 cats. The other 5 cats feel they must continue thier lifetime protest against me.

Myself? I am cheap and tawdry and will throw a rabbit out for slaughter at the drop of a hat. I can't speak for everybody else though.

The above post was a mistake. This recipe was supposed to be posted in the Cooking Thread. I have no idea how it ended up here. Must be one of those TBD Ning glitches. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
