A very unique poem blending cooking with celebration and the outcome being what blending of the races results in. A much better tasting result.

At the rate interracial marriage is happening, I believe that all of humankind will be various shades of brown for most with a few starkly not brown or any shade of it, but the few very recessive traits like red hair and green eyes, white hair and blue eyes.

Dark chocolate is the best one. Give it, not the cheap, creamy ones, to your Valentine.

I bought a can of spray that is supposed to give the user a quick tan. I called it "tan in a can." I pressed the button on top and it dribbled a very dark glob on my leg. I tried to spread it around, but it only smeared and made things worse. It would not wash off, so now I am an awful-looking piece of charcoal. Do I count as Black?
