    I hope your tooth is feeling better MWC.

    I agree your freezer contents sound fab and I don't even eat red meat!

    Wow MWC you are on a roll … I'm not sure I could name 6 different types of rice :):)
    But I think you are right, and unlikely to starve …
    Look forward to hearing the meals that come out of that lot! :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
