If my husband is in the kitchen, he's taking his boots off. Otherwise, it's just a passthrough room for him. I cannot complain. It was part of our prenuptual agreement. After 9 years of being a bachelor, he pleaded to be off cooking. I agreed if I were released from all things automotive.

You must try and get some- even if it means a trip into Spain- and why not? I used to make marmalade every January in the UK, but when I migrated to Australia I had a big problem! Then I discovered Cumquats. They are just as good. Maybe those are available to you in France?Margaret Butterworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132595996801386452noreply@blogger.com
