They should be ideal. What recipie did you use?

This used to be called a LOL - Lady of Leisure. Estimated income level = $200,000 pa MINIMUM. Without working, that's a shittonne of capital at 2% pa averaged. She can dream, but those dreams are not realistic. I doubt even the lottery would finance that sort of lifestyle.

As a master of spelling (various sorts) can you beat my score?

Seafood platter and cabbage salad please chef. I need more vitamins.

Smart move. The lump is a good sign - maybe no inside the skull bruising, just external. Hope all checks out OK for you.

Eeek! Please check in at the nearest emergency hospital - head injuries and swelling inside the skull take a bit of time to develop and can be devastating. Any nausea or funny light effects or dizziness or slurred speech - call an ambulance please.

Basically, a serious head knock is equivalent to a stroke - needs to be checked out by professionals.

Karma can be so so beautiful ...

It's too early in the morning.

No reason why you can't have your own bowl, just keep your mitts out of MINE! (it's too good to share)

Hasn't appeared on the abc website yet.

Have your own bowl of pho! I'm not sharing. Not our chef's pho anyway.

Bowl of pho please chef.

Thin flat batten for the top and for the bottom. About the same width and thinness of a wooden school ruler only long enough to extend a few centimetres wider than the fabric. Or lengths of thinnest possible plastic pipe. Bunnings can help you here.

Attach in a variety of ways :

1. Glue picture on to batten/pipe with fabric glue or flour & water (cooked) paste. If using flour & water paste, add a squirt of aerogard to the paste before using to deter insect attack.
2. Thin strips of neutral coloured fabric to make tabs for the top edge - also glued or stapled to the back of the picture fabric. Tabs should have a big enough loop to put the batten/pipe through at the top. Bottom batten as per 1. above.
3. Staple the fabric to the battens for both top and bottom. You'll need an industrial stapler - office staplers aren't strong enough. One staple every few centimetres. Can be tricky to get right so it doesn't wrinkle, but the least messy option. Doesn't work too well for pipe mount.

Then either tie some string to the ends of the top batten/pipe and hang from a hook, OR

Drill hole in each end of the top batten to tie the string to and hang from hook. OR

Run a piece of string through the pipe (if using) and tie ends together to make a loop and hang from hook.

You can put the hanging hook right up near the ceiling where it's less obvious and tie a loop of string from that and then tie that to the string on the picture, being careful to centre it so the picture hangs straight.

Lengths can be adjusted to suit. When you've got the placement right, replace the hanging loop and maybe the string on the top batten/pipe with brass picture wire cut to the length you want. Kits at Bunnings and Lincraft and probably Kmart.

The advantage of hanging a fabric picture on battens/pipe is that you can roll it up when you move. Then you only have to fix up the hole where the hanging hook was before inspection. And you can re-hang it in your new place without much difficulty.

Also Gibson will enjoy batting at the picture when it moves in the breezes. You can secure the bottom batten/pipe to the wall with a couple of discreet bits of blutack if you don't want that to happen.

This is the way.

Actually, quite do-able. Foam cone from Lincraft (make your own xmas tree sort), or cardboard covered in tinfoil. Pipe thick stripes of mayo or other sauce in spirals over the cone. Stab each chicken piece with a toothpick, and stack around the cone, glued in place with the sauce with the toothpicks facing outwards. Pipe over more sauce or not as preferred. Maybe lop off the top of the cone to fit a small bowl and put melted cheeee or another sauce in the bowl for serving. Provide plate/bowl for used toothpicks.

This could be seriously delicious as a party centrepiece on the table. Some of the constituent pieces dusted in chilli powder, some with mild paprika. Russian roulette with chicken.

Would that be a cluckembouche?

Thanks chef!

Ice cream and pretzels please and some coffee chef.

gratin. This is heresy I know but I actually don't like fries all that much. Will eat them, but they don't sing to my soul.

You can't beat a good capricc. With all the anchovies that the peasants don't want.
