When I saw the Fortune Cooking Contest ,I was pretty excited. I remember the college days when we had just one copy of Linda Goodmans Love Signs in the library and that book used to be perpetually checked out. Once I got it , all my friends got together and pored over it analysing and re-analysing all the other sun signs and making notes on who our better half should be. We were a silly bunch of teenagers and many pleasant hours were passed thanks to that book. I have no idea where those notes are but that was the extent of my superstitious astrological beliefs.When I saw the contest I knew I would either cook something related to Taurus(my sign) or Scorpio(my hubbys sign) as I love both fish and chicken. Since this month has all been about me, I thought I would honour the man I married :) He has been my rock and my support and I cant imagine a life without him.So heres to you honey….thanks for making my life so special :)
