Vince - round with stiff Toads<br/><br/>Nicci's retort had his eyes wide with hope. If she could deliver half what she said he'd be in heaven.<br/><br/>His mother had been a stew cook. She knew stew. Everything she tried a hand at in the kitchen came out some form of stew including the Toad in ah Hole and a chocolate cake. Him and his brothers had privately called the concoction Toad inna Milk. His Gran had rescued them on Sundays but when she passed along they were deep in Toad inna Milk.<br/><br/>Vince had made a solemn promise to himself he would never again have Toad inna Milk. It made him shiver. How anyone could ruin a perfectly good Toad was beyond him.<br/><br/>Vince asked Nicci innocently, "I canna speak for tu rest but I likes me toad so's it's stiff an thick ah creme. Would yah Ladies be makin me toad stiff then?"<br/><br/>[I can't speak for everyone else but I like my Toad so it is stiff and the creme thick. Would you Ladies be making the toad stiff?]<br/><br/>Now the teasin began in earnest. The offers back and forth to accommodate and provide.  The food delicious but the company. Oh yes, sweet company. Hungry for more than a meal to be sure.  All from a Toad inna Milk.<br/><br/>
