Is it not to wet where you are? It's been raining again all day here. And my teenage daughter has been out in it all afternoon with her boyfriend.

Was he hanging upside down, a'la Shrek?

Debates having an espresso on Monday, despite never having had coffee before. I think it could be interesting....

<Is it not too wet where you are?>

Now it is, yes. Second day of constant rain. Just when I thought it was safe to go back out... Is it me or is this the most miserable summer in memory?

I am tempted, but it seems pointless as I do not have kitchen.

Brownies are good though.

I do not like coffee. Vile stuff.

There's one recipe that I'm STILL trying to get my hands on. It's for chocolate and blue cheese muffins - and before you all go "BLEURRRRCH", they're wonderful! :)

<goes BLEURRRRCH anyway>

Sorry. Blues cheese, ok. Chocolate, ok. Both at once? BLEURRRRCH....

Not really a recipe - but may work as an emergency solution ........

Take one fairy cake (without the buttercream inserted)
Take 2 squares of Cadbury Dairy Milk (salmonella-free, naturally)
Take one finely cut slice of Blue Stilton (or Danish Blue if you're a bit strapped for cash)

Insert all ingredients into mouth at same time and chew.
