I am now supposed the pass the award on to eleven other bloggers, but as I gave out awards last month, I'm going to skip that stage. I should have thought of eleven questions to ask the recipients, so instead I will pose one question for all of you to answer, either in a commennt or an email, and I'll give a prize to the best answer
What is the worst thing you have ever eaten?
ps - I'm sorry about the change in font, and the misaligned photo!
