When I was 12, my Mom had major surgery, so I was doing some of the cooking. Cornish Pasties sounded perfect, and I was so pleased with them went they went in the oven. Got involved too long in a book, so was not so pleased when they came out. My Dad's comment, "Pasties are past tense for Tasties." Boy, can I sympathize on all counts! My mom used to always know when I was reading all night long. I asked her many years later how she knew that's what I was doing, and she said, "Because I used to do the same thing!" Love your Dad's quick wit. Thanks for sharing! Susan
