Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Is it better to be mixed race?

Well, I'm very mixed and my dh and his family are quite the opposite.
When they are being complete arsholes it's easy for me to say well - they have too narrow a gene poole - but don't forget that if there's a nice or clever gene hanging around it's going get passed on better to people in small inward looking communities eh?

And in my case I got the worst of my parents I think.

Does it really matter - particularly from C4
I caught the end of this and since I am mixed and my children even more so I am going to agree wink
I thought it made sense really, you need to mix up the gene pools surely?
Brazil was interesting esp the light/ dark skin divide in living standards.

It did seem quite superficial to me. I am of course convinced that my children are superior regardless of any TV programme smile

I missed a couple of bits due to DS not sleeping but initial thoughts are that it was all rather superficial. But then it was C4 so what did I expect...
I'm watching and recording as I missed the first 10 mins

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
