Yay for you Nelle! Isn't it wonderful when a meal turns out as well as you hoped! As for River's offering to the ants - Euan does that too. He likes to share his lunch with the ants, and the floor, and the walls... *sigh*. Actually, I think that the ants have realised that they are onto a good thing and have moved in permanently.

Um, could I have both the chicken and roast vegie salad recipes please? Or is that pushing the friendship to ask for both?

Lisa - I hate commercial pizzas too - but our local Eagle Boys makes a half decent crap pizza, in that the ingredients are all recognisable and they are assembled on the pizza in a way that is slightly less haphazard than the usual fare. For $5 they're pretty good; they are better than the 'gourmet' pizza place up the road which charges four times the price. If we want gourmet pizza we make them ourselves - between DP and I we make a damn fine pizza.
