Brilliant  Andrew, a good laugh on a wet and stormy afternoon.A

I think we have gone totally off thread but sounds delicious, perhaps Jean can give me the recipe, mine always used to turn out like burnt biscuits. Tonight I have cauliflower cheese and mashed potato , with rabbit (the Italian touch) and veg (all local). Comfort food after a day of pouring rain and thunder...better tomorrow?A 

Andrew, where did you find all those funny quotations? I couldn't help but laugh all the time while continuing to read :-)Great!Have a nice day, Monica
