ChopsuadedMy ineffective handling of much-practiced chopstick fingering wobbles as noodles fall off the wooden implement, nearing my agape boca from the sheer audacity of the fantasy story in confrontation of the magnificent Wok amidst slow-flowing lava from the volcano. What a story! The creative originality is immense, and the aroma of the culinary delights wafted through the prose as the ladies conjure up a delightful Chinois legend. Keep it coming, ladies, despite minor grammatical imperfect

Well, OKNot for me, but I don't deny its appeal. The descriptives can get quite involved, maybe a touch overwrought. Good luck to the author!
