I duly obliged to cook as they paid for all the food. I didn't mind the cooking it got me out of their way...

This Xmas, if I haven't managed to escape to a sunnier place where Xmas is not 'de rigueur', I am cooking a curry feast with bahjis, pakoras, samosas, spices, chillies, pilaw rice, dahl, pappadums, puris, sambals etc... etc... etc... and *** it if the QM objects Mourir de rire c'est bon pour la santé    Report
