Here are 5 of them:</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIQkc0v1fi2RT0TV2jnOI27q5acoS22VqqXcc7yRcQwTOvtQLfkt-UgWd8sBoELETAvfv52qLIhcT46Oxgz3rC2RhYVU9R06web_VJmJ3M5MNAtOY91FXy8_MQu7GCMsk2QEbcGf61rac/s1600/dishes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIQkc0v1fi2RT0TV2jnOI27q5acoS22VqqXcc7yRcQwTOvtQLfkt-UgWd8sBoELETAvfv52qLIhcT46Oxgz3rC2RhYVU9R06web_VJmJ3M5MNAtOY91FXy8_MQu7GCMsk2QEbcGf61rac/s1600/dishes.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">1.)
