Roslind and I have the luxury of choosing our own hours to a great
degree. I don't start work until 10 AM and she books appointments
from noon to 8 PM on Mon, Tues, Thurs and Sat. She enjoys taking a mid
week break on Wed and her clients love being able to book after 5 or
on Sat.

You have spoken of dormice as food in the past ... I just came
across this little article while reading about Slovenian cuisine
shortly after I mentioned "my" Lilli's hamburger pizza here:

     Title: About Dormice In Slovenia

           dormice

It was farmed and eaten by the ancient Romans usually as a snack;
they would catch the dormice from the wild in autumn when it was
fattest. The dormice were kept and raised either in large pits or
(in less spacious urban surroundings) in terra cotta containers, the
gliraria, something like contemporary hamster cages. They fed these
captive dormice walnuts, chestnuts, and acorns for fattening. The
dormice were served by either roasting them and dipping them in
honey or stuffing them with a mixture of pork, pine nuts, and other
flavorings.

To this day, wild dormice are consumed in Slovenia, where they are
considered a delicacy and dormouse trapping an ethnic tradition. The
trappers used many different types of bait to entice the dormice.
These different types of bait ranged from pieces of fruit to bacon
soaked in brandy. Use of dormice for food and fur and of dormouse
fat as a medicament is documented there since the 13th century. In
the past, seasonal dormice feasts were welcome protein supplements
for the impoverished peasantry.
