  2. Oh what a great idea – in the meantime I have printed these recipe’s and will try them out this week= I have people staying for the next few nights and I just loved that one of your Dad’s – I have to go and visit the neighbours and see what they are growing ha ha – Yolanta next door often comes in with zucchini & lemons = I wiill suggest the items on your dad’s recipe for her to grow so I can borrow them and then they can come in for dinner.
