(G) I know the words to that song. I was going to buy breakfast at Temple B'rith Sholom on Christmas morning as I have done in past. But there si a longish flight of stairs down to the meeting/dining hall where they do the Interfaith breakfast. And I do not do stairs well. Up or down. So I took my brother and my friend to the Star 66 (truck stop) Cafe for the Star 66 Special - 2 eggs, potatoes, a breaded boneless pork chop, and a biscuit. The chop and the biscuit topped with a very good sauaage gravy. I didn't eat anything the rest of the day. DD> Title: Savoury Stuffed Squash RH> It does look good.

I can detect subtle differences between the Kalamata and the black olives but, I like both - so, no harm, no foul. Bv)= I also like the briny green olives, either pitted or whole but without the pimento stuffing that many seem to think "de rigeur" in ther pitted greenies.

There's even a complete menu consisting of a recipe from all six countries! Happy Cooking, Eating, Rugby watching ! Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan add the garlic and sauté gently until softened. Add the anchovies and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients, partially cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Serve immediately. Serves 4 NOTES: I made this with oil-packed anchovies instead of the more common salt-packed little eyebrows. But, a note of warning - if you use the oil packed fish keep a salt shaker handy. And maybe add a half-teaspoon of salt to the sauce when cooking. - UDD Recipe from: 2008 Six-Nations Rugby Recipes From: http://www.recipes4us.co.uk/Six Nations Rugby.htm Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
