The thing that amazes me too is that Ruth let him do it. boo to Ruth. That divorce remark was quite something...our subconscious knows before we do.

Them were the good old days in that sense. Actually I have always been quite proud of my trifle but son no 2 drools over my gooseberry fool.<BR/>I certainly wouldn't drink out of even a glass slipper but then there are a lot of things I wouldn't do.

Party food nowadays is so finicky, in the eating and the preparation; that's why I like Nigella. She's fresh and suggests food you can get actually your teeth into. Party food is, as you say, more about creating a layer to mop up the booze, and no matter how fancy or how simple the gatherng I always feel a wee rush of "Yum!" if I see sausage rolls there, and a wee sigh of "Oh," if I don't.<BR/><BR/>Clearly Nadia Nerina's admirers knew nothing of the real state of a dancer's feet. <BR/><BR/>I think drinkng out of shoes must be something only a man would do.<BR/><BR/>Trifle.

I think it was in Victorian times when roues drank champagne out of great beauty's slippers,<BR/>"She is as pretty as a picture, has great charm and can dance like a million dollars.....we shall all be fighting to drink champagne out of her slippers!" <BR/>This was written about Nadia Nerina the great ballerina.<BR/>Also one doesn't make a scene ot your husband's bosses's party. My initial reactiion was tears but I'm fairly sure William didn't get away with it scot free.
