Mind you, I'd settle for looking like him if it meant having his Aston Martin! Miles Dave,

My personal favorite would be Colin Firth, however. You have missed the obvious man to play Miles—Hugh Grant. My personal favorite would be Colin Firth, however.

I'm glad to hear that you have made the transition to a gluten free lifestyle in a positive way and that you have found happiness outside of the commercial kitchen-wouldn't we all?!! You are quite right, I shall adopt a diffferent approach to the next Christmas, that said it can't get any worse! Thanks again Kay Best wishes for the New Year Miles Kay,

I hope your toe is healing nicely. Since discovering celiac disease about a year ago, I have given up my catering business. This was my first catering-free Christmas. No coddling the clients. No raucous party at my house. Few decorations. Limited gifts. Just a little wheat-free baking. Sound bleak? NO! It was delightful! Perhaps my favorite Christmas since childhood! I don't miss the crazy parts AT ALL! Perhaps you can wear a disguise during a coming Christmas, or leave town and pretend you're not a chef just once. I recommend it! Hi Miles,

I'll forgive George's accent simply because he's nailed my looks! As for the book thing, I'm glad you find it amusing but as I say with regard to the 'about me' section and the posts I wrote on my early days, it's all true, nothing has been 'glossed up' -it's 'warts n' all' here. I hate b******t. With regard to my latest post I'm glad you pay more attention than I do!! Miles Melissa,

I would never suggest Woody Allen play you, but the movies he produces about families and relationships and work and all the crazy things that make up everyday life are often very entertaining. And even though Cid is on to George Clooney, he's not English, so he's out. A book -- I think you need to write a book. Or at least arrange your blog posts in book fashion. They are quite amusing.
