Paged through Secret Universe of Names by Roy Feinson last night. Bought as gift, but like it a lot. It says of my name: gregarious, dependable, mellow, reticent, overstimulated & controlling. Very apt! I am keeping it.

Recipe a great favourite of mine, based on a Nigella Lawson recipe for brownies.
