] I went briefly to the British Museum yesterday. I arrived a little early and just HAD to visit the shop (well, you know how it is ;-) )

] And sitting there, all innocent smiles, was The Jane Austen Cookbook by Maggie Lane. Well, what could I do with a MT about JA's life and times coming up.

] The DH rolled eyes to heaven, but I assured him that this was in the interest of serious historical research.

When in Bath I bought several one pound recipie booklets. My boyfriend bought the welsh one (which had the best looking recipies). But I could not resist the one for Derbyshire!

I still plan to cook something worthy of Mr. Darcy even if does have three french cooks at least!
