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?

Thanks - that looks really useful!

I say 'pudding' to mean both 'the non-savoury course' and a subset of the dishes you might serve for it, according to context, but I don't think that 'silly' means the same as 'naughty'.
