But, like you, Rosemary, one finds one's interest wherever -- not necessarily to everyone else's liking - but to one's own liking.<br /><br />That cardamom and orange dressing might find it's way into my basket - and I could hardly refuse trying something made by Monsieur Bertinet. I probably would not be able to resist one piece of homemade vanilla fudge - heck - I might be there longer than it takes to fill the car with petrol!<br /><br />Waiting for your next installment!

It is noteworthy that fast food chains here are taking a second and third look at their ingredients and calories, and making adjustments as more Americans are conscious of their health. That might all be a by-probuct of the rise of preventative health care.<br /><br />My selection would be one of those lovely tarts . . .<br /><br />Mark D.
