Compared to those I reckon 'Jell-O' would indeed be a compliment! Miles Annie,

Miles' description of the kitchen reminds me of this analogy. You contain the stuff in one spot, and then it squirts out another. So, Miles, when we begin to call you Jell-o Boy, don't take offense. Consider it a grand compliment. Annie I have often likened the work I did as a high school administrator to trying to contain Jell-o. Miles’ description of the kitchen reminds me of this analogy.

Just goes to show! So, when someone asks if you have been on the sauce last night, that can mean all manner of things :) Cid, I applaud your efforts. Whilst I love the idea of juicing, I have been put off by the amount of fruit needed and the subsequent cleaning of the equipment. I might just have to stick to my fruit cakes, carrot cakes, apple/cinnamon and peacon cake, lemon tarts etc. to get my daily rations :) Elsie Miles,

The whole multi-tasking chef image is partly what women find attractive in these talented men I reckon. Are men drawn to female multi-tasking chefs? Only when it's dinner time I suspect :) Cid Elsie,

When watching on TV some of the scenes in busy kitchens when service is called, I know that I would have to get out - the heat and pressure would just be too much. Cid, you must be a picture of health with all that juicing. Have you experiemented with raw veg. yet? Elsie Miles,

It also goes to show that we have no idea what jobs are really like until we either do it or we are told what it involves. Christine Miles,

Looking forward to some summer juice recipes :) Miles Cid,

Here's another thing that bothers me... how many times do I see friends cooking pasta in a tiny saucepan, all the time of course! By way of a side order comment here.... I juiced a whole pineapple recently because no one was going to eat it, what a glass of fabulous that turned out to be. Subsequently I have tried to include it in with the other fruits and veg.... so, 2 apples, 1 pear, 2 kiwis, 1 carrot, 1 large vine tomato and sometimes a beetroot. Cid Miles,
