Now THAT'S my kind of holiday. Eat, sleep, Eat, sleep.....and so on. Those don't look like the foodables that my PUs eat but I would surely like to gulp them down. Mom would nibble to make sure she liked them before she'd gulp, although the bananas in a pancake got her droolin'.

Enjoy your fantastic fun holiday and I will try to find time to take a peek at those earlier posts that I missed.

Big Brown (((HUGS))) to my two beautiful Malaysian ladiez and to your Mum too!!!!

Woofs and slobbers,

Holidays are all about good things to see and lots and lots of good food - it sure looks like you found both. We will take a little of everything you showed us, especially the prawns.
