Great recipe Mimi- thanks. We made this a few times over the Thanksgiving weekend. Had some cavalos to use up from antother recipe (oh, darn). Took advice of another rater and didn't use quite as many cloves- but I think we liked it best with a bit more ginger. I guess that's all up to personal taste. Thanks for giving us a great recipe to play with. I think I'll try a star anise next time if I have it on hand.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
