Even thought the time is up, I'm sure none of us would be offended if you dropped by every now and again.

And IMO On food and cooking is one of the most useful books ever written.

Harold-
I didn't have a particular question during your participation, but I found all the questions and your answers very interesting and informative.

Thank you for your contribution. I hope you might do it again in the future.

I'm asking Santa for a non-contact thermometer for my big Christmas present based on one of the questions and your discussion of its uses.

Your book is also on my stocking-stuffer list.

Thanks again, and please visit us again!

Mike

My Mother gave me the revised edition for Christmas last year. She'll be hard put to outdo herself this year. Many thanks for spending the week with us; although I've been too busy to participate, it's made for some fascinating reading.
