Think I've (re)invented the next popular drug!

Since time began animals have enjoyed the 'kick' they experience by eating or smelling certain substances. The other evening I was enjoying a glass of Baileys that Jeanied had left and spilt a drop on the arm of the chair. Not long after a huge fly zoomed down on it. I watched fascinated by it's clamour to lick up every drop. It may not have been very good for him but, by golly, he enjoyed it. Should I have shooed it off and deprived him of it's obvious pleasure?

Errr, well, if Ollie wants to borrow one I have the entire collection in my library

Ummm... Me too, in fact I have duplicates of a few cos I inherited my Mam's too I think it's 'For Kicks' where he nobbles the horse with a bucket of water?

"Spelling Police. Pull over!"

Just thought someone who is so particular about punctuation might care about spelling too.

I do you're right. I'm sadly pretty bad at it though and if I'm unsure I'll use an internet dictionary to check rather than make a faux pas. This time I just didn't think about it.
Thanks for pointing it out.

If you like chilli and chocolate then have you tried chocolate chilli con carne? Its absolutely divine!!

I've taken to adding a flake or seven of dried chilli into my afternoon hot chocolate. I thought it make me feel pretty 'relaxed.'

Or is that "chillied out" Rhona?

Um...think so I'm afraid.

I was devastated when he 'retired' but glad he's back with Junior

By the way Ollie - Chicken Mole is divine especially when eaten in Mexico

My cat goes crazy for mint. Not catmint of course, that would make too much sense, but literally any other type of mint. She'll rub her head in it until she's covered in the smell of it and then wig out a for a little while.

good times.

and I put chilli in my mulled wine. Am I onto something?

I love the Dick Francis books too count me in, only just discovered this thread. Also how do you make chillie flakes from fresh chillies. Although must admit I have never grown them.
