Thank you

to kightp for her potato curry recipe, which Rob has grown so friendly with that he can whip up a double-sized batch of a variant of it without pre-planning when we're too tired to cook during the week. We've had two or three meals of it and there's a container in the freezer for next time we're knackered.

And we're eating it with real bread and for dessert we're having preserved fruit - I have apricots and the others have peaches, because the apricots aren't sweet enough for them.

Linnea has picked up the habit of saying "pudding" to mean the non-savoury course at the end of the meal. I find this irritating because neither Rob nor I say it; we use "pudding" to mean a type of food. We say "dessert" (well, sometimes I might say "afters," but usually "dessert," and I'd rather not examine the complicated class issues which go into my saying "afters.") and I have a feeling I know where she picked the new word up from and I'm not happy about her learning language usage from people who say "silly" for "naughty." I happen to like silly.

Of course, it could be from somewhere else entirely, in which case I can stop worrying.

But why stop now?

We had to take out some of the heat, for babies, but everyone loves it, and it goes really well as heavy soup with real bread. It will take all sorts of abuse, in fact.
