Re: Sweet and Sour Meatballs - Men's Kitchen
I'm sorry to say Netta, we were not planning to have any women on the premises. I thought the wee wummin was organising a night at the local Thai restaraunt while us men were sampling the delights of Hughie's Cuisine. Anyway I don't think we will have enough tatties to cater for 6.

Better make that 7, the wee man will be wanting his share.

Re: Sweet and Sour Meatballs - Men's Kitchen
I think you're angling for a guid skelp oan the lug, Boney! suggesting there'd no be enough tatties if the lassies were there...that's the equivalent of the great male dilemma, how to answer 'does this make me look fat?'

Yes, an enjoyable get together with you and the wee fella at Caloundra on Sunday. Will put a photo up today - but first Bobby and I have to do our long morning walk along the beach before breakfast.
I'll put a topic up shortly to see who would be interested in an Aussie reunion next August.
