THE marrieds have their seven-year itch. Well, the singles have to suffer on occasion, the seven-minute itch.
It's that tingly feeling you get seven minutes into a date so dull you feel the urge to make a 100m dash for the nearest exit.
Author Shirley Conran said in 1975 that life is too short to stuff mushrooms. That is not entirely true.
Think about it.
Haven't you ever been on dates where time seems to stretch way past eternity?
In comparison, stuffing a mushroom requires very little time and effort.
Plus you won't get post-traumatic stress disorder.
Should you want to impress someone you fancy with a home-cooked meal, this is one nifty and quick recipe you can use to butter up your date.
Who knows?
Love often mushrooms when you least expect.
