In the ' olden days ' when everyone went to Calais to get their wine, I always brought back a few jars of apricot jam as you couldn't get it here then. <br />A lovely lunch Cro and very healthy. When are you intending to go back to the red wine ?<br />Oh, and, cleaning crabs is not that difficult, just time consuming. My husband used to be a diver and crab and lobster was a regular meal for us so I know my way around a crab. What's for dinner tonight ?
