One-dish meal, hot and tasty, and makes wonderful left overs. A bazillion calories...
Fee got Photoshop CS2 Photoshop for me (we had one version that came on a computer several years ago, and I loved it). This version is so much more complicated! The main thing I wanted was a way to repair old photographs; that was pretty slow work on the old version, but worth it. At any rate, there is a lot to learn, and here resides a resistant learner of technology, not because I don't want to learn, but because it is difficult and time-consuming.
That's the first time I'd heard the term "antagonyms" - interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time too. I hadn't thought of those words as having opposite meanings, but you are so right, they do! No wonder I'm so confused!
