1/2 teaspoon crumbled rosemary
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
8 medium (1 1/4 pounds) fresh California plums
1 pound lean boneless lamb or beef, cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes


1. Combine lime juice, oil, garlic, sugar, rosemary and pepper in bowl.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon and a cat that comes home late at night.
