It was great to read your answers. Palma is such a unique name. I wouldn't have guessed it was a family name.
And bacon - how could I have forgot the smell of bacon!

Great list Palma -- we share a love of red clothing, yellow in other things (like crayons) and lemon flavouring. And pasta and cheese. Of course!
