Ugh! I hate guinness, but it used to be given to nursing mothers for that and the extra calories. Fortunately the custom had stopped by the time I had my kids, I’ll stick with red wine and eat something else with iron in it.
Maybe it was just a bad day in the kitchen.
Possibly yes, possibly no...the Sunday lunch lottery!
I wonder whether that would work with my family ...
It is not an easy task to go through personal things but maybe some consolation that others will benefit.
Yes - I work at a local children's hospice in Oxford and when really good things come into our shops we sell them on Ebay and get a much better price. I said to my husband that most of these clothes are going home as she was a great customer in all the local charity shops!
Reminds me of a scallop festival in Paimpol, Brittany where we had a 3 course menu based on scallops. I enjoyed the first two courses but "Scallop in a passionfruit custard" for dessert was one scallop too far! Hubby said it was "not bad" but I asked for Tarte Tatin instead!
There is a distinct lack of seagulls round here. I'm told that the bird flu has ravished the seagull population of many of the small ports around here. They can be an awful nuisance (we call them flying rats) and they often attack people with food in their hands in the open air.... but even so I wouldn't wish suffering on any creature.
