[Sca-cooks] Curye on Inglysch or Gifts

[Susan Fox]

Another suggestion:  the relatively new phenomenon of the Amazon Wish List
has completely solved all the difficult gift-giving family politics amongst
my parents, brother and I.  Other online vendors have the wish list set-up,
which I take it is a profitable extension of the "wedding register", so
choose the vendor which pleases you best and tell your relatives where to
go.  [Um, that didn't quite come out as diplomatically as I had hoped!
Grin.]
