I shall be doing a carpe diem tomorrow when I finish work for a few days. It will make a pleasant change from 'carping' a chef! Make the most of it :) Miles Annie,

So Bubble and Squeak is a variation on the potato pancake (which were staples in our house as I was growing up and old) and not an old song and dance team. I shall have to remember this for the future. Thanks for the recipes and for thinking of your forlorn American correspondent, who has decided to adopt Mum Collins' New Years' philosophy of "carpe diem." At first I thought she was telling me carpet heave 'em, so I moved the area rugs in my house from one room to another (no easy task). Then she told me I was a silly goose, and I got my act together and began to seize things (like the carpets, and my laundry) anew. Strange she should remind me of this adage, as it is one I used to drum into my students at the beginning of every new school year. I guess it must have taken, for I received three letters today from former students telling me they learned so many good lessons from me which they have carried into their lives. Now how is that for a great diem? Annie Well, I’ll be jiggered!!!

They first bubbled in water when boiled and afterwards hissed or squeaked in the frying pan". Elsie Miles,

Cid, a good idea to toss them in flour. I shall do that next time. Superb - all this food and thought :) Elsie Miles & Annie,
