poor little rabbit - have you never read Watership Down?

Thank you

No problem

They have a restauarant with a fully qualified chef at DH's work.

Once a month they have a cookery club, where the chef will show the foodies something slightly different.

Will see if I can get my hands on some of the backdated ones and post them. [drool emoticon]

It was under serious consideration for a Dinner Party on Saturday

God, I AM sorry!! Sure it will be delicious. it's just the only thing I can't do really. Once went for dinner to my sister's French MIL who is a fantastic cook (her jams are to die for-am jealously guardinga divine fig and vanilla from the pups ).
She did rabbit! I was devastated.
