You are always welcome and I know you're having a difficult time at the moment. Take care x Oh, LN, I meant to ask: what marinade do you use for your steaks? Jmb, I'm allergic to fish and always have been. Glad you survived eating it whilst in the Med! I don't think it's polluted. Thanks, Lee. Yes, we need to be careful with these foods, especially now the heat has arrived. Marymary, I am indeed fortunate in my friends here. Complimenti per l'italiano! Hi, Liz. That's in about 20 minutes over here. Not sure I can get over there tonight. I'll try!

This is a "foodies" paradise!<BR/><BR/>So true what you say about rice, Welsh...it can go "off" quickly and once it gets a "sweet" taste, it's time to toss it out. Rice, mayonnaise and tomato-based sauces can be some of the most dangerous for food poisoning.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-49153899476956736612007-06-18T03:46:00.000+02:002007-06-18T03:46:00.000+02:00Hi WCLC,Well I think that's a satisfactory lunch f...Hi WCLC,<BR/>Well I think that's a satisfactory lunch from my point of view! You don't eat fish? This was the thing I loved about Sicily, the fresh fish every day. My "mother", the little old lady (even older than I) with whom I "homestayed" cooked fish every day since she knew I liked it. Especially <I>pescespada</I>. All very fresh although I did worry a bit about contamination as I read once the Mediterranean was very contaminated but it looked OK to me so I ate it all.<BR/>Now that lord nazh has brought it up, I join in the chorus. You definitely don't need both moderation and word verification and it's easy enough to get rid of. I hate it so much on other people's blogs (because somehow it never works the first time so you have to do it twice)that I left it out of mine. I've only had to remove two spam-like comments since I started and I deleted them.<BR/>Think about it, WCLC. <BR/>regards<BR/>jmbjmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-59014077612035383912007-06-17T23:35:00.000+02:002007-06-17T23:35:00.000+02:00Been meaning to come by and congratulate you on we...Been meaning to come by and congratulate you on well-deserved blog awards, WL.
