Enjoyed the book before seeing the film......book was much better for me.

The other one, I began, but didn't finish. As Aro infers, it is possibly a "woman's book", but agree he writes well!!

Tks Hepzi...."converted"...why on earth can't they say..."cooked"....OMG!

Got the rest...intend to try...I usually cook a big batch of curried veg, freeze in suitable portions, then do the meat separately, before combining for last ten minutes. Works a treat.

...Probably ordinary Crocus stamens.......proper stuff costs a forturne and you don't get it from street hawkers!!!! You could have been had.!!!

Bit like that stuff you can buy in Spain.....

Several recipes use it, but if you only want colour, use turmeric.

O Fran, I am so sorry!.......If it was obviously from, say, a car accident, then maybe no need for excess worry....but if not....could there be any possibility of any other cause??? Which might warrant a Vet's checking??
