Which is healthier? A

B

My conclusion? They definitely have different tastes but I can’t say one tastes better than the other. We buy A so I am certainly more familiar with it. A has a more pleasant smell than B. A has larger, more regular circles than B. B has better packaging than A. Both were equally satisfying as a meal. B gets my recommendation.

Today Arcite’s Day turns 3! And with that arcite notes:

This year has seen many blog become cold dark sites in the blogsphere.

And poses the question "Shall we go on?" Pay arcite a visit today and leave a comment to let him know that his writings and photos are too worthy to be sucked into the void of dead blogs.

He seeks merely 5 or more comments as his validation.
