Oldie

I've decided that I like birthdays. Especially when they involve scallops and lobster. We should definitely have more of them...although that would make me older quicker, which I'm not too sure about. It's bizarre enough being a thirtysomething without my age increasing any faster. I can't even remember how old I am when people ask (my guess of 26 last time was unfortunately a bit out - you feel like such a twit if you get it wrong).

Back in the world of food, today's big news seems to be that chocolate could be a cure for coughs. There's no limit to the excuses we can come up with to eat this stuff...hurrah!
