In fact, that's where Emeril LaGasse got his word "BAM." I was told by the gal who helped engineer his first book tour that he liked the way the employees called it "BAM" and was looking for a catch phrase, so he grabbed "BAM!" Okay, it was a BAM employee-- she might have been biased, but I believed her.<BR/><BR/>And I've started reading Treasure and will have to stay up tonight to finish it! Can't wait to see if Annie gets rid of. . . you-know-what.<BR/><BR/>:) BetinaBetina Krahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379124690406269848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-66357050147308076422007-02-14T12:52:00.000-06:002007-02-14T12:52:00.000-06:00Thanks, Anne.

You think it's a joke but my teenage son lets spellcheck pick words when he's typed the wrong one so his papers can be quite interesting.
