Furthermore - long distance relationships are a pain in the @rse. Be sure that this man is really worth the hassle, emotional turmoil and expense that a long distance relationship will cost you. If you have any doubts then maybe you should look for a man closer to home...

Beee-yoootiful.

Post your recipes here

(I won't go first, cos I'm just a rotten ol' yabancı and I know there will be better recipes than mine out there!)

Come on then...

That's more like it!

Thank you J. (a true diplomat!)
