TODAY on MHTV: Whenever someone asks for an entertaining idea that’s simple, sophisticated, and budget-friendly, I usually think mussels. My brother David is here and we’re baking the dark-blue mollusks inside a parchment pocket with white wine and a tomato-parsley sauce. Eggplant dip with warm flatbread and crisp veggies is a no-fail appetizer, and fresh pears with gorgonzola, honey, and walnuts, a no-fuss dessert. More from the show.

    I love Genius Bread but wonder why colaiecs cannot get it on prescription, or can they? I buy it in Tesco because it was on special at a31.99 which is a31 cheaper than Goodness Direct .even at Tesco regular price of a32.49 it is 50 pence cheaper than Goodness Direct .Goodness Direct has a great variety but as an OAP I find it too expensive. Does anyone else find this to be the case?
