Dear DU,
Yeah right! If her highness finds time…
Great list!
Brilliant effort – every one of them, verily a gourmet dish. If only every ingredient magically shows up in my kitchen, I won't need my Alladdin's genie cum cook today to actually cook them into these brand new original creations from a genius (?!) ratatouille Chef, will I?
