Hi Oshiro and all, Bravo for your optimism!!!LOL
Isn't there a saying,"When there's will,there's hope?" As Ed once said,"Never give up!"LOL I guess men and women just need to continue communicating with each other no matter how frustrating their problems may be...;) Ambitious for me is more of a man's characteristics.Once a woman gets married and has children,her priority changes dramatically.All the worldly fame,richess or power become worthless to me. I admire women leaders of the world because they enlarge their love for their family to for the country they serve.Ambitious women in higher positions I've meet are often single,divorced or childless...you see.:( Yes,you're absolutely right that most women are chocoholic!;) I prefer dark chocolate,too!Swiss,Belgian or Dutch chocolate are my favourite! Go sign up for the one-day cooking programme!I hope the food you prepare on that day is edible and worth taking home!!!Otherwise your girlfriend has to eat yours!LOL I love cuisines from all over the world.That's why my BF and I were addicted to travelling before.Food and People are the most fascinating parts of travelling to other countries for us!!! You're making me homesick simply by asking about my own food from Taiwan. The best for me is "Oyster/Shrimp Omelette".You add oyster/shrimp and lettuce on the omelette,then serve with ketchup.Yummy yummy!!!LOL The best Polish food for me is tomato soup.Polish use sour milk or milk very often when they make soup.They eat a lot of dumplings stuffed with mincemeat,cabbage,mushroom,blueberries,etc. Piotrek should be the one to tell us more.Where's he now?!:( Great week ahead of you and all of us!
