"Oh, boy, hard-core sugar!"

"Too much sugar."

Today's special... donuts.

"5 chocolate brownies, 3 banana muffins, 4 caramel cookies and one cappuccino - skinny."

My friend, Ernie, the documentary filmmaker, is producing a series about beverages. One film follows a man's search for the perfect lager. The working title is "The Beer Hunter." He found a group of young women in high school who are fantastic baristas. "Bean Girls." Espresso. Another movie will uncover animosity in the orange juice business. Maybe I should call it "Pulp Friction." And he's examining vineyards and winemakers all over the globe. I'll call the film "Planet of the Grapes"!

"...and what do you think will happen if you do attend the party?

"I'll have dessert first."
