I was probably showing off, as they're really quite easy. Most of my cooking is like that, actually. I was inspired by the cook-book Sally gave me when I first left home: <em>The Slut's Cook Book</em>, by Erin Pizzey. But the profiterole recipe came from Delia Smith. I have a friend, Carol, whose description of making choux pastry I still love, and still use. When you shoot the flour into the butter and water mixture, you "beat like buggery" :) Gillian says that I still make really nice profiteroles, by the way. Which reminds me, I must try again soon ...

Do you remember making profiteroles here? Your mother was so proud of you for that (as, indeed, she was about everything you did.) Funnily enough, Peter mentioned that again only the other day!

I can hear it now, if I think about it. It also reminds me of the recorder piece that Peter played (it used to be used as the Today theme) that was 'La-diddle-diddle-diddle-damn!' as he always missed the last not of the descending scale. Gillian and I once went to the wedding of a couple of friends where the music was played by a relative of the bride. The memorable description of the organist was "wonderfully approximate." I'm sure you can imagine how painful an experience that was. I would have loved to have shared that with Sally too. Once last thought: "Do you talk horse?"

'La di da di splodge crunch', as Handel's Largo from the Water Music was once rendered by a church organist when we were on holiday in Cornwall still makes me laugh.
