A very well researched novel which, alongside Picoult's usual 'heading to a trial' plot, explores many facets of and perspectives on Asperger's Syndrome. The potential and common effects of AS on siblings is especially well documented here. As gripping and informative a book as Nineteen Minutes

Mmmmm…. Pasties….. I feel a pasty-making session coming on…. The offspring will be very pleased. They love to have pasties as a packed lunch for uni… So, on their behalf, ‘Thank you, Lucy!’
Those pasties look wonderful.
I have been keen and wondering how to make pasties.
Thank you for sharing and pointing us in a useful direction.
By the way I shall be up in Scotland from the 12th February onwards.
glad you like the pasties
is that you moving here or just visiting Ana? very cold just now!!
Hello again Lucy,
I shall be living and studying in Scotland for a month.
I enjoy making, and eating, pasties. It is possible to make pasties in quantity and freeze them in an uncooked state. Last year I created some savoury puddings with a vegetable suet case and a filling of leeks and mushrooms in a sauce comprised of thick gravy and paprika. They were cooked in a microwave and were very tasty.
I hope you enjoy your time here Ana
Sounds good Riaz
It started life as a pond pudding with a currant and sugar filling. The pastry on a good pond pudding is supposed to break apart when you turn it out because it is loaded with juice. I then had the idea of creating a pudding with a savoury filling.
love the name – pond pudding!!
Pond pudding was the name of a recipe from the instruction book for a microwave oven. The pudding is made in a wide and shallow dish and is filled with so much juice that pond is an ideal term to describe it.
