G'Day Ray (and Maree, as I *know* you are lurking and reading this, too) Thanks for the wiki ref -- now I know what a Jaffa Cake is and that it isn't subject to VAT =+)). And I did know that cookies are biscuits, but I didn't know they were also bickies. Ok, it's time to let the rest of BrinL in on the joke, Ray. I remember with much amusement the look of horror on Maree's face when I asked for which 'footie' team you two rooted (and I did it more than once, BTW). Evidently in Aussie-speak, rooting is what you do with your intimate partner in the privacy of your home, not what you do for your team in the football stadium. And if it gets too dry and hot there, you can always winter (or summer, depending on which side of the equator your reside) with us. I promise not to put cilantro in the salad again.
