That book sounds like a must read.<br /><br />Something I knew I shouldn't do, but was fun anyway? Yesterday I ate far too many salt and vinegar chips. Funny thing is, I'm not really a chip fan, but I love vinegar (I have it on vegies and lots of things). I had to go without S&V chips for years because I get migraines from MSG (which they add to most flavoured chips) but there's a brand or two now that do S&Vs without it. Hooray! So I'm still in the joy of a rediscovered favourite. However, today my mouth is still feeling pickled - which is the reason I knew I shouldn't have eaten as many. :)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-88117426343454354212012-10-28T10:54:53.810+11:002012-10-28T10:54:53.810+11:00Hi Annie, Thanks for sharing highlights from your ...Hi Annie, Thanks for sharing highlights from your book, it sounds a ripper read.<br />Doing something I'm not suppose?

I confess I found an old recipe last night in a magazine I was throwing out - for pastries filled with chocolate - rather like choc croissants. I cut it out in case I decided to try it. Tsk, tsk.
