As I said...It's a matter of taste. Pancakes to me are good for raceing with not for eating....ugh! What ...

Sorry but, I am not superstitious! I believe in the theory that 'what is meant for you/me wont go past you!' Hi Tony, How about replacing that word "theory" with the word "superstition". :roll: Hi Hughie No sooner said than done. Hope the new version fits in better with the topi...
