Chutneys & Pickles

This article was posted about a year back.
In line with my idea of making the blog useful, this has
been brought under a new label "RECIPES"
If any of our friends or there wives would like to search
for new recipes of share ones they have, we could post them here.
Of course, you could get them on the net too but getting
them through your friends is more trustworthy.
After all the way to a man's heart is through his stomach
