As for wine,the Roby family budget didn't spread that far.It's a hard life in Two Dogs!<br />Oh! And did I ever tell you the latin name for Wren is Troglodyte; because it forages mostly at low level in undergrowth.Any suggestions what would best accompany Roast Troglodyte? <br />P.S, Happy Thanksgiving...Lord Robyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242159762237463407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-25528851147163749122010-11-25T01:48:28.915-08:002010-11-25T01:48:28.915-08:00Duck is a marvellous meat, in't it?
