Descriptions of the bland unimaginative food were a terrific comment on conventional and pleasure-less attitudes toward sex.

When I read The Hummingbird's Daughter I made a point of sprinkling cayenne on chunks of melon and the summer I was into Mario Puzo I was particularly salacious toward tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. Yesterday I was thinking of Thomas Wolfe's comment that the most beautiful sight is a woman cooking for someone she loves.

We've tried the battered sausage at our fish n chips place, and while I and the husband liked it, the boys were unimpressed. I do love their curry and gravy sauces. K, my friend Thalia is English; might you have come here via her? Karen, thanks for delurking; welcome!

I'm tempted to have one myself now! It's so easy to throw gether, I usually plump for beans (we just call baked beans 'beans' in the UK) or tinned tomatoes, fried bacon, fried egg, fried mushrooms and fried sausage, all with a hearty dollop of brown sauce. Other great additions are black pudding and hash browns, but I usually only have those if I'm eating in a cafe. Also, if you're going to the chippy, you should try chips with a battered (or plain jumbo!) sausage with curry sauce. Yum! I've been reading your blog for a few months now, stumbled upon it quite by accident - I can't even remember how. Anyway, keep it up, I love reading what you have to say. Karen.
