A room without books is like a body without a soul. -- Cicero

Recipe Thing

It’s alive!

I was going to give you the whole peroration tonight but . . . nah.  Go check it out, have a rummage, and I’ll give you the peroration tomorrow.   And possibly* a recipe** as a kind of blog-warming present*** or herald of great† things to come.

But first, the delicious pop of a champagne bottle and lovely fizzy foaming noises, and I propose a

TOAST  ††

 

To our Five Recipe Blog Heroines. . . .  

            . . . Whom I can’t identify, because I’m not sure what names to useAaaugh.  I’ve just been trying to use the ‘search’ function on the Site Admin here, to try and match the email addresses I write to the Heroines on about the recipe thing, with the names they use here.  This is the sort of thing I do not keep track of, and where I answer blog comments, behind the scenes, the email address shows up too, so I don’t have to remember who is who . . . and (hands up anyone who’s surprised?  Any hands in the air?  I didn’t think so) I can’t get it to work.  So, you can toast to five semi-anonymous heroines, can’t you?  Use your imagination.

*** I know it’s my recipe blog.  You can give yourself presents, you know.

† Delectable.  Fattening.

†† Hey!  Why did my 20-point type go away when I cut and pasted from Word??  And how do I get it BACK?  Even if I highlight TOAST ‘Text size–largest’ still makes the entire wretched entry go huge!^

^How many ways can I get my Grand Opening wrong?+

+ Don’t answer that.
