Enough to do cognition studies on the effects on primates. Gotta do that for my thesis and then on a larger scale before human trials.”<br/><br/>I raise an eyebrow and nod....I think Chloe might have dabbled once that we both know of, in regards to a human trial.  And dammit....it worked really, really, REALLY well.  The topic swings back to the oysters again:<br/><br/><br/>“The don't serve less than six and they don't travel, so ...” #Giggle<br/><br/><em>"Sorry....cant help you Chloe...."  </em><br/><br/>… Rachel overhears ... says she'll ask the rest of the bar if anyone wants to split a half dozen …<br/><br/>“Yes please Rachel. Kimmie needs to learn that yumminess is next to cuteness in my hierarchy of standards. And I don't lower my standards just because someone is cute but not yummy!.”<br/><br/>She looks at me and I throw on my best "Im hurt" look.  Chloe doesnt miss the gesture!<br/><br/>“Wait, that didn't come out right. Um, you look yummy! How's that!” #Giggle<br/><br/>Our hands brush again on the menu.<br/><br/>"Yummy is good.....I'd even be cute if you'd like"  I smile and trace a little circle on the back of her hand.<br/><br/>“So if you won't eat Oysters, what aphrodisiac suits your fancy? They have mushrooms or snails or mussels or clams. The rest of their appetizers go to your hips instantaneously!”<br/><br/><em>"I like any of those....just not raw.....so for example, if someone was trying to, shall we say, get my little engine purring....hmmm on this menu.....I'd say to order Kimmie some 'mushroom tarts'....those look interesting....a little 'yummish' maybe?"</em>I grin....<br/>
