Great - another kitchen appliance I won't use.

When I was twenty seven my sister bought me a fondue set for my birthday.   At the time I had only eaten fondue once at a Melting Pot chain restaurant.

I’m Singing Solo!

Penicillin, yo.

The first song I ever sang in front of an audience was Mother by Pink Floyd.   I was a fifth year in college and in a small acoustic bar band call Raif LaShanks.
