i think i might have done this already, great answers, i love Faith Hill...and her hubby Tim McGraw is great too...
and there is a huge spider in my kitchen, so much so i only had cereal for dinner as i didn't want to be in there too long making anything else...

I havbe to ask, as a sometime ingnorant American, what is homity and swede? Last I knew, swede would be someone from Sweden, but things are changing everyday, right??
And I'll steal this one as well :)
Morning. How are you today?
Morning Jo, hope all's going well for you...I was thinking about B and icecream...you do know you could mix those two together don't you? Blend the brandy with some icecream and make what we call 'Hooligan Soup'...I know you didn't say anything about icecream, but anytime I see the word brandy, I think of Hooligan Soup lol

fizzy - I'll send you the recipe!
Walker - oh I like that site v nice!!
katya - spider!!!!!
slinky - a swede is root vegetable, orange; called a turnip in Scotland and a rutabaga in France! And Homity Pie .... might be a Friday ode to that I think!
