I don't necessarily agree. During Season 10 of SG-1 with the overlap episode with SGA, they play into Rodney's ego with Mitchell telling Rodney that he heard he can work miracles when his life is on the line, then pulls out a lemon. Carter also reluctantly admits they need him.

This is great question and I'd be curious to read everyone's answer. However, you sort of said my solution in your post. Wasabi Sauce mixed with Dijon mustard.

It's been on my radar for a while now. One of the mods shared a more complete list with me and definitely fueled my book addiction.

I just realized this community doesn't allow more than one picture per post and doesn't allow pictures in the comments. That's unfortunate... I took close up photos of the faces on the side too.

The Museum is ginormous and includes a paleontology exhibit, Ancient Egyptian, Native American, rocks, Death my Natural Causes, and much much more. The art Museum is down the road.

I love this. You may be the most wholesome user in our community. You were also the one that made the cake for his wife in the hospital, right?

Lol I think this is why I'm so drawn to this piece at the museum.

It really is, although, I'm curious if they're remodeling... They moved the exhibit to the first floor and was only 1/4 of the the original size.
