  1. I'm a big fan of Julia Child and I enjoyed watching her make Baba au Rhum.

    He says “In the front, they tend to be set fairly low, on the central tunnel, and if you’re driving and actually interested in seeing what’s going on in that big window in front of you, the position isn’t always great, as it can take a glance and attention to find and get ahold of your drink.”

    Reading the 29 strangest mysteries was like watching a TV commercials with all the hype and superlatives but never say what the product is. LoL
