    Yummy beetroot & chard risotto for dinner using golden beetroot and swiss chard from the garden :T

    Today's party leftover was the dregs of a box of pinot grigio blush!

    Still eating leftovers! Lovely MSE chum stayed Friday night and helped :T

    Pulled pork was lovely but they'd already eaten all the cake :eek::rotfl:.

    I can report that the new kitchen and living room are lovely and well worth the pain :T:T:T:T. The orange toaster makes toast in a very stylish way :j.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks for the heads-up VH :T I'll be home alone (Mr MWC is flying to SFO on Sunday) so I'll have a look at Ancestry (I've been using a free 2-week trial on findmypast).

    We'd eaten most of the cake before you arrived... but there is still some fruit cake left... :p

    We appreciated your efforts in helping to reduce the mountain of leftovers :T
