Thanks, @prydefoltz! I don't know where I've been, lol. A hiatus, I guess. Some folks with allergies say that eating problem pollen is one way to reduce their sensitivity. Or honey made from that pollen. But I don't have any allergies, except Poison Oak/Ivy/Sumac. I've personally known old-timers, though, that ate baby Poison Ivy leaves every spring -- for 2 weeks, 1/day, as the leaves grew from brand-new to larger sizes. I just can't bring myself to try that!

I'm serious about that candy cane & sardine contest! : )
