I just started (granted, for like the 5th time) last week. It's really, truly, definitely, suddenly, amazingly (those are adverbs right?) time for you to finish that belatedly, quizzically, awesomely awesome book of yours.<br /><br />Do it now!! I have family from New Zealand, and they are really big. Like break you in half BIG, sistah.<br /><br />And I don't have anything against tamales or chimichungas, I just prefer to know where they were made, and if the maker is in possession of a food-handlers permit. That's all I'm saying.<br /><br />Hey do you think they make chimis with non-flour tortillas? Because then we could celebrate with a chimi feast at the end of this.<br /><br />Una- I cannot disclose how many pages I have written so far since Brodi will probably hunt me down with those non-gluten-free tamales. But my deadline isn't until Monday. I can still make it . . . I hope.Bree Biesinger Despainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292364585512793833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-72246052924345607202009-10-27T12:32:48.120-07:002009-10-27T12:32:48.120-07:00Becky- I loved your threat.

It is very helpful.<br /><br />However, I think you need a challenge of your own, Miss I've Been Working On A Draft Of My Current Novel For Almost A Year!<br /><br />You've got 2 weeks from today to send me a finished draft of BROKEN or will tell the tamale man where you live and give him your credit card number for a lifetime supply of tamales and/or chimichungas.<br /><br />Here that commentors? The throw down has officially started.
