Floating down to Camelot

It wasn't courage so much, but rather naivete - not realising that it might be a problem. I've done very little cooking for years, but have recently leapt back into it - but not in a sensible fashion, by choosing nice and easy things, but by working through ancestral recipe books of exciting dishes I remember from childhood parties. Most have turned out nicely, but some have proved... interesting. :-)
