 Now that's what I call being ingenious, as well as leaving a slightly lighter carbon footprint....none of your fancy florist stuff!   :D

Every once in a while I do something a bit creative and aesthetic. Thanks, Binks. It's such a beautiful evening here. At 6 p.m.., the shadows are getting longer, it's still not very hot, and all's well with the world in our little nook. At least for now. Makes you appreciate all those little things a bit.  :angel:

I'm going to post my recipe for tonight's dinner under a new thread, in the "whatever" category.

This is a great recipe for lifting the spirits on a cold or dreary day.  Our Aussie friends are going into their winter season, so they might have need of something like this.

It's a bacon, garlic, onion, ultra-cheesy potato soup.

Cheers!

It's easy to find examples of the word fuser in use. For example, on www.printerworks.com, "If you don't see your fuser here, try searching our database under your printer model." And on the same site, "Is your fuser a loser?"

The only dictionary I found it in was a specialist one, A Dictionary of Computing (Oxford University Press). So does this mean it's too technical for our list? I think not - we recently set a precedent with gilp, which was hard to find in general dictionaries but is clearly used by painters and decorators. We added gilp to the list (despite already having two other words for the same thing, magilp and megilp), so it would seem wrong to reject fuser - especially considering that laser printers and photocopiers are such widely used appliances.
