Since my trip to Jamaica, I've fallen behind in everything, including reading your posts, so I'm just catching up.<br /><br />Your friend Susie, sounds very similar to my old friend, Maisie who has also left us, so I can totally relate to your story. What a joy to be able to have friends such as these ladies, who held a treasure trove of spectacular stories from the past. David, I think you need a cookbook of your own!
