I LOVE tomato and mozarella salad ... that's a cert.

And scallops ... yum ... with Pernod??? Well, that's worth a try.

And cheese.

Any chance of some chilled Sauternes, or maybe Orange Muscat, with the cheese?

[ChuckFickens]

Could you possibly do me a slightly shocked cheesecake?

[merciasounds]

ttfn 4 legs send you paw-waves, woofs and big licky kisses!! I opened the door this morning to take them walkies, Lotte looked at me, looked out at the rain and then back at me as if to say, 'You've GOT to be joking - not going out in THAT! She dashed to the tree, had a wee and came scampering back in and dived in her basket!Mind you she's getting on now, she's 84 in doggie years.

[merciasounds]

cherries arranged in a small 'o' shape for you chuck!!

[ttfn]

Bless Lotte mercia - my old Boxer was like that too. My Newfi though had to be dragged back in when it rained - he just loved it. Give them all a cuddle from me please.

[Greedyfly]
