3410 - spooky synchronicity. At the exact moment you were posting about that baked bean and chip pizza I was in a waiting room reading an article in an old woman's weekly about Alyson Gofton's dislike of that specific recipe - which was not her choice

Sacha - for once I am going to disagree with you. Jonathan Hunt was one of those people who did an incredible lot of helping people behind the scenes, over many decades. He was also a very good lobbyist and networker for NZ internationally, particularly when HC in London. Just because the media have always targetted him, doesn't mean we should. Those large taxi bills were because he didn't drive and so saved the taxpayer the cost of personal vehicles.
Unless of course you have personal experience of some less than effectiveness from him.

Probably cow -it's becoming a profitable business for some cow owners. Hopefully, not from endangered species or wild animals. And human mothers only really have enough for one little baby and none left over for selling. But the way things are going...

Her ' I hate to housekeep' book is on my shelves from my mother's collection, and I'm sure the other one is around here somewhere. But then I've also got her 'Dine with Elizabeth', for those 60s NZ cooks who wanted to be a bit sophisticated sometimes.

Good on those who didn't convert their gong to an outdated imperialist knighthood or damehood eg Sam Neill, Joy Cowley, Ranginui Walker.
