Tastey Tuesday by Alcira

Hi Everybody...., Welcome to week 1 of the Obama Presidency!!!! I have not caught up to my regular life yet after attending the inauguration...., and now Tennis is on....., OH MY MY!!!

Well enough of my musings..., What can we make for this week's Tastey Tuesday? I am still thawing out from my week in DC...,
I would love to warm up with this and rub up against and definitely lay all up under, around and over THIS ....,
BTW...., I know some of you would rather heat things up with Ms. Good , and Ms. Ford or even get schooled by The One and Only Foxy Brown ..., but alas before we can rub noses or massage body parts we need to take care of our internal engine...., How about an old fashioned CHICKEN SOUP....,

Now, Now..., Don't give me that look , we need some ole school to fortify us for the winter months....LOL, but I think I could put a little zing in here for you.
How about...
