    Miss LRH, aka the Ooohhh Aaaaaarrrrrggghhhh Bird :eek:. So was it a double yoker?
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Good morning

    I've woken up with a headache and a sore throat :(

    I haven't got time to be ill... I have guests arriving at 1-sh and before then need to:

    - clean bathroom and downstairs loo
    - clean conservatory
    - mop downstairs floors
    - clean up after Mr MWC in the kitchen (he's a very messy cook and he's using achiote so everything will be red :eek:)

    Today's menu:

    Guacamole & sikil p'ak (pumpkin seed dip) with tortilla chips & chicharron (Mexican pork scratchings)

    Pork pibil
    Green rice
    Smoky asparagus salad
    Pink pickled onions

    Margaritas

    Toffee apple cheesecake, ice-cream & toffee sauce

    Hope you feel better soon MWC. Could it be hayfever? I don't really suffer but do get a 'have a cold coming on' feeling each morning when the rape is flowering.

    Food sounds fabulous.

    Both you and Fortune have such beautiful recipes :)

    I'm going to g@@gle the recipes when I get home.

    Fortune may be right, when I start with hay fever, I think I have a cold, but after a couple of antihistamines it's under control.

    The it easy

    Thanks Fortune & Tilly

    I do get hayfever but not normally this early in the year however the sycamore trees outside are in full flower so maybe I'm developing a tree pollen allergy - I'll take an antihistamine and an aspirin!

    Most of the savoury recipes are from Thomasina Miers

    No - does it work?

    All jobs done and still over an hour before our guests arrive - must be a personal record :rotfl:

    I'll catch up on MFW diaries and then potter in the garden :D

    Nettle tea made with local nettles is supposed to help too - very :money: unless you need to invest in some gloves to pick them of course!!
