Shitake mushrooms are very like ordinary ones, only with a more intense flavour. They're great for making mushroom soup, or if you grind the dried ones in a spice grinder you can use the powder to flavour soup and stir fries and casseroles.

Yes, I watch a lot of cooking shows. Why do you ask?

I'm a bit worried about the shoes because I haven't had time to break them in. I'll take a back-up pair just in case, but I hope they behave and I won't have to worry about changing.

Would gel insoles help? You can get some that're specially designed for high heels. 'Party feet', I think they're called, and I have no doubt that they are originally American and probably available everywhere. I haven't tried them, as my high-heel days are long behind me. In fact, my next foot-related outlay is likely to be for corn plasters. OH, THE GLAMOUR.

I am a big fan of the gel insoles, have been for quite some time. They really to make wearing heels easier! However it's the blister factor I'm more worried about. I have a spot on my right foot that is especailly prone to blisters, even in shoes I've been wearing for ages and I really do need a few wears to break a pair in before an event, something I'm just not going to have time for between now and Saturday :~(

*sadface*

Not even wearing them around your apartment in your pyjamas? There is at least a certain decadent glamour to that.

I would, but I can't be assed at the moment. Also, I got a blister on the weekend from a pair of FLATS! No shoes are safe, not at all.

This is a sad state of affairs. Most shoes make my legs ache, but that's just an age thing. I foresee support tights in my near future. Yup, it just gets better and better.

I meant also to ask about the rosewater icing. Just rosewater and icing sugar, or other stuff too?

The recipe is icing sugar, milk mixed with a little melted butter and a dash of rosewater. Mix until smooth and then place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until spreading consistency. The quantities really depend on how much icing you need. I mostly just guessimate and add the liquid only a little at a time until I think it's right. I wanted to make it pink as well, but I used up the last of my cochineal the last time I made cake.
