Gill, she would no doubt know exactly the right farmer's market one needs to be seen at.
Arthur 'al dente' - wish I
had come up with taht for a title.
And yes, dead posh descriptions of dishes too.
Stegbettle - I would use that nice long German word beginning with S about getting pleasure from someone else's come uppance if I could spell it.
Moo, my sister was almost unable to tell me this morning, so helpless was she with laughing.
God I love that sort of laughter, where you can hardly actually talk for trying to speak which of course only induces further hysteria!
Yes Lisa, it is infectious!
