Helpful Hint For Wooing

If you are quite aware that a Smokin Hot Girl is going to show up at your house between 5:30 and 5:45, you should refrain for those few minutes from nibbling at the edges of the vegetables you have been thinly slicing, because as soon as you put a piece in your mouth, the knock will knock on the door, and instead of the smoothly torrid greeting you had planned, you will open the door slightly sheepishly, with your hand held in front of your mouth, chewing fast, and hoping to christ that she likes the taste of fennel.

Everyone likes fennel, no?

Tasting of fennel is most certainly a lascivious gesture.

However if your need for the deployment of a smoothly torrid greeting is still left unsatisfied - Sadly Ms. AP, you are left with one very laborious solution: try, try, again.

Have you ever mixed fennel with mango? Oh, yum!
