I'm actually intrigued by this. Perhaps maybe with a little Tequilla marinade to with that? Hmmmm, now my mind is going crazy with possibilities. I've never heard of endives, but then again, I'm not a veggie person. I have learned something today, nonetheless.The CDMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138020218165030880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026858070116639860.post-7968728149841765292008-10-31T20:17:00.000-04:002008-10-31T20:17:00.000-04:00adam: naps are essential.
