I'm not offended, just a wee bit cynical nowadays.

About June you think?

Boyoboy, for most of us, the exact date is engraved in our memory.

Which restaurant?

I'll give the benefit of the doubt here. But if you want to build a
little credibility come over to alt.support.diabetes so we can meet
properly, about T2 rather than sales and recipes.

Then, once we get to know you, we might talk on recipes.

I don't think you'll think mine are gourmet, but I'll expect an enormous
commission if I come across them at Xmas in Melbourne.


Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.
