I really, really liked the mixture I bought, but sadly there's no detailed information about proportions, etc. Used for dipping, sounds great.Kristen In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812033421757298431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954511.post-76462217768896723702010-04-27T17:33:37.596+01:002010-04-27T17:33:37.596+01:00What took me so long to read this?

Loved it and bought a bag with that name on it at a shop, only to discover there is dukka and there is dukka--many, many versions and not all of them great. Must google some recipes.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818122668387271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954511.post-74346874580469028792010-04-21T22:34:35.835+01:002010-04-21T22:34:35.835+01:00Nope, Bee, mother in law still here until Saturday...Nope, Bee, mother in law still here until Saturday, and the little houseguest's father MAY turn up late tomorrow night in London, but we'll keep her until Friday anyway.<br /><br />Won't you be glad to get HOME! The perfect thing about our Connecticut situation is that it's home away from home, not someone else's home.<br /><br />And yes, we've been the Compleat Tourists. I agree with you completely about museums full of things. We went to the Carlyle Museum here, and while it was a lovely Georgian house full of Things, what made me happiest was ordering a book of Jane Carlyle's letters, and now I can sit back and imagine being HER.Kristen In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812033421757298431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954511.post-26830666279165717652010-04-21T17:27:14.977+01:002010-04-21T17:27:14.977+01:00I LOVE Avery's comment about Pompeii and volca...I LOVE Avery's comment about Pompeii and volcanoes. So has there been movement now with the travellers? Did your mother-in-law get to leave today?<br /><br />We have been stuck in Houston, which is not so bad (except that you really can be away from home too long, and a month is really too long)and we hope to fly on Sunday now. Yesterday, our flight was booked for next Wednesday but then the situation improved overnight. <br /><br />At least you have made the most of the extra time in London . . . oh my goodness! I really want to take that Highgate Cemetary tour. Yesterday, I went to a Faberge exhibit at the History/Science Museum here, but I'm really not so fussed about objets. I liked the stories behind them much better.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954511.post-85372818560779574232010-04-19T09:12:52.515+01:002010-04-19T09:12:52.515+01:00Briefly, YES, Salisbury is amazing and a very surp...Briefly, YES, Salisbury is amazing and a very surprising village/country experience. We stayed in a Landmark Trust property called the Wardrobe (will blog about all this when I get two minutes to rub together).Kristen In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812033421757298431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954511.post-73456732297237061362010-04-19T01:28:46.725+01:002010-04-19T01:28:46.725+01:00Well, what DID happen in Salisbury after all?
