Maybe it is some chemical. Yes, Nigella is married to adman and modern art collector Charles Saatchi. But she'd already become a hit by the time she met him after her first husband the journalist John Diamond died from cancer. Maybe it was a meeting of minds between Saatchi and her sharing their vision for massage over message. Jim, Yeah Donna seems to be more about syle too. The Tom Cooper is good but this doesn't take more than five to ten minutes to prepare, th etrouble being it takes three days for a result. Goldie, amazing how many people have this dill problem.

Ed,

I have a problem with dill because it seems to make me sick! put too much in a vege soup one time and feel ill after. I've had the same drama on other occasions too. Weird! I agree about Nigella. Something about her is irritating. Apparently she is married to the guy who started the ad agency saatchi and saatchi and is therefore heavily staged and overmarketed. Gravlax… interesting!

You should try it. It is so easy. Neil, a lot of chefs say that Australian herbs aren't as strong because we overwater. I wonder if that is the reason. Maybe I'll see if jak would like a catsuit. Kalyn, I'm about to revamp my garden but i'm not sure I'll bother with dill as it will never be enough for this recipe. Thanks Melissa. You should try it. It is so easy.

I am impressed you're making gravlax yourself. And I am kind of with you on the dill; I don't have it in my herb garden this year (died in the winter I guess) and summer was half over before I noticed. Wow, that was fast!

You might not throw her out, but Nigella just might need that catsuit when Jak does... I agree about the dill not sounding like enough and interestingly any store bought dill is nowhere near as strong as home grown, as you could imagine we get through a bit of it with my Polish connections.

I'll try it with my next batch. Kalyn, it's not confusing just my habit of rading the first bit of a sentence and not the rest. Fixed now (I think). Andrew,

The deadline is 3:00 on Sunday, Utah time, and it's only 8:45 A.M. here so this entry should go to Melissa at Cooking Diva. (Next week is Zorra, then Scott, then me.) Sorry if it's confusing. Cheers, Kalyn Feel free to delete the comment! Hi Ed,
