Fran, I love that now you'll always remember Louise as well!<br/><br/>Ms A, you're so right. I can't really pinpoint it either, but it just may have something to do with being able to see too much, shots being too exacting (and exact). Old black and whites are the best.<br/>Giulia, I can't imagine that I'll be so inspired to convert everything to grams (sorry!)--I brought all my measuring stuff from America ;) BUT, I see that Cheeky has provided a link, and remember that Cristina of Expats has also put up a <a HREF="http://www.expatsinitaly.com/living/baking.html" REL="nofollow">great conversion chart</a> that's really helpful.<br/><br/>Judith, well, if you're talking about my baking skills, those are completely lost on P, unfortunately. That along with my vast knowledge of American sports. Figures.<br/><br/>Sharon, I have no idea what kind of car that is, although I'm sure my dad would if I remember to ask...for now, I'll take your word for it!<br/><br/>Anna, yes, I've heard of the frozen banana trick. Actually I have two in there now, but I haven't actually used any from the freezer yet (obviously we need to eat more fresh bananas!). Thanks for the great tip!
