Fusilli d`oro (golden) ... 88
Fusilli Verdi (green) ... 68
Fusilli Arancia (orange) ... 58

214 Fusilli twirly wotsits

Preferred the sound of Monet's sauce. Some blurry affair best savoured in the garden

Bump

I need to slightly amend the closure of this week's food count to 18:30 as I forgot I need to go out later.

I'll be sat by a lake today where there's intermittent mobile signal so if the thread falls down the table and needs a bump could someone please assist with the bumping if necessary

Thanks

It was a real fighter too, took ages to get it in. This lake is full of big pike. Had one on that was roughly double this size but it got off

Next time...
