Hi Dominique, I think Pillsbury is a brand of baking flour not the
type you find in a bouquet
That's right. Flour/flower - the sound's the same, but the meaning's
not. Which makes the husband's mistaken assumption on a par with wives
getting a house appliance (rather than a piece of jewelry or a night
out away from the stove) as their major birthday or Christmas gift.
Mind you, I've *requested* many a super-dooper pot or some other
appliance (but *not* a vacuum cleaner <g>) in my younger and more naive
days... :)
