Liver cake is a yummy treat for dogs. I tried the cats but they turned their noses up Eva does caviar not pate
Grahams mums dog loved it and I have frozen some.

Although liver cake can cause major upste in the park when other dogs get a whiff of it.

Stinks the kitchen out a bit too.....

Thanks for the information on liver cake - I think I will give it a miss, seeing as I have no dogs!!!

Eileen - re lilac superstition, lilac does have an extremely powerful scent and it was used to mask the smell of a dead person lying in the house before embalmers, etc. White lilac is thought to be the most unlucky of the lilacs as this has the strongest scent and before the Victorians chose to wear black, white was the colour of mourning, so to combine the scent and the colour was asking for trouble. Hence TS Eliot's "Lilacs from the dead lands".

Yes its unlucky to bring lilac in the house...same as doing any clothes washing on new years day....it goes something like "Washing on new years day wash a life away"

Odd about supersitions maybe we should start a superstion thread?????

Thanks! I had never heard that one before; it does make a lot of sense the way you've explained. I've always loved white lilac; we had one at the house I grew up in, and it saddened me not to be able to dig it up (way too big!) when I moved here......
Carolyn (Kate cat's mom) had a big lavender one across the street and I was always allowed to cut a bunch to perfume the house; another thing I've missed since she moved to Oklahoma..

On a happy note, there is a good chance she'll move back this summer!

Re Lilac superstition. Let me confess straight away that I "borrowed" most of this explanation from another forum (which is why I can't post the link). A person whose username is Laineeth.
