I am a little worried that the book's XL size seems to be too small for me (6'2" - 46" chest), so I guess I will have to grade it up a bit.<br /><br />I hope we as a nation are not getting too casual about these bombings/attacks.

I've been canning up the wahzoo (125 qt and counting so far) lately and I'd call your red (with blue + orange tones) "PLUM JAM" -if you'll notice this ubiquitous Italian prune plum has a dark blue skin and an orange interior. When you cook them into jam sauce, they become the color of your jacket.
