I am so glad that Danny brought it to my attention.<br /><br />Stylistic/Grammatical errors:<br /><br />(1) "I am generally a big fan of meatballs so I particularly enjoyed those." A comma should follow "meatballs." However, the sentence is fairly short, so perhaps your choice can be defended.<br /><br />(2) No excuse, however, can be advanced for the "particularly delicious" chocolate rugelach. You've already used "particularly" and "delicious" in close proximity. In such a brief paragraph, re-using key adjectives and adverbs seems plain lazy and lazy. See what I mean? "Lazy and unimaginative" sounds much better.<br /><br />(3)I have never tasted chocolate rugelach that were wearing a pointy birthday hat, but I'm guessing that such rugelach would taste awful. I'm also guessing that you intended to write that YOU were wearing a birthday hat while eating the rugelach (that were not wearing a birthday hat). <br /><br />Thanks so much for the English exercise! I look forward to the next installment.<br /><br />Love,<br />KrautDeranged GOT Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612879240849706244noreply@blogger.com
