A Plain Old Kiss
Some people need a peck or two;
For others a simple smooch will do;
Too many, a graze will stimulate;
A few may want to osculate.
And then, there are those who need a smack,
For flowery words they have a knack.
But all I want from you is bliss,
Which you can give me with a plain, old kiss!
- Arr. Ara John Movsesian

Etymology [Latin scul r , scul t-, from sculum, kiss, diminutive of s, mouth. See s- in Indo-European Roots.]

I know the tamales are for Christmas, but my SIL loves them andthey do freeze well......and since her birthday does fall directly on Thanksgiving this year......and it has a zero in it.....and she likes my tamales........

I actually learned how to make tamales because my husband talked so much about remembering them always being around for Christmas when he lived in Houston!!!
