I felt like Indiana Jones fighting off those stupid flies!<BR/><BR/>Tempered Woman- The bug bomb was not an option for me. I never realized how common this problem is. The bug man said you should always rinse your fruit right when you get it home from the market. <BR/>I'm glad you liked the pie. I really did think the taste was great.<BR/><BR/>Katy- Thank you! Glad you liked it. I'm glad we're "fly free" too, except I can't wait to see what happens around here for the next DB challenge. Sheesh!<BR/><BR/>lisha- Yes, they really look like that. Pretty gross, huh? ;)<BR/><BR/>Candace- Thanks. I am a Daring Baker, after all! ;)<BR/><BR/>Aamena- Just make sure you put in a few good squirts of dishwashing liquid. That is what traps them in the vinegar. Let me know if it works for you. <BR/><BR/>Veron- Thank you so much! I really tried to make the shot a little "artsy". I really like it too.<BR/><BR/>Chris- Yes, those shoes are pretty hot stuff! I'd wait til your ankle heals, though. ;)<BR/><BR/>Jasmine- I'm so glad you like my name!
