I used to own gerbils, they are so cute...
Oh and where is a conversastion about Chinese food (I *love* it) without MSG?
When we lived near Boston my husband and I went to Chinatown frequently. And we saw a bag of MSG...
It is a white powder BTW and is unbelievably bad for you...our favorite Chinese restaurant The New Great Wall serves its food without it but I am health unconscious enough not to care. Ans raamen noodles...we get the authentic ones from Chinatown...nothing but the best badness for us!
Oh and the *real* stuff is good...I have had dim sum in an authentic Chinese restaurant with a Japanese friend...I was the the only white person there...good stuff but I don't recommend the chicken feet...three breaded toes...
oh and I *may* try dog...cat, no.
