Yep, and it looks delicious!

Should I whip up a batch while we're waiting for harzer to post the new clue? (It's the middle of the night here, lol)

Go ahead BR...I walked so much in Paris that i have actually lost some weight!!Therefore, I dont feel guilty eating 800 calories or more of forbidden food...
Do you mind if i have a glass of good wine to go with it?

Last time I was in Paris, I'm sure I lost weight too. We walked and walked and walked....

Only thing was, any pride I might have taken in losing a few pounds was overshadowed by the PAIN I was in, because I didn't have the greatest walking shoes. OW OW OW.

A glass of wine is fine with me. Enjoy!

If harzer doesn't post soon, I think I'm going to scoot to bed. But I'll wait just a little longer.

This northern european town and county capital has a confused little dog at the beginning and is regrettably mixed up at the end.

7 letters of which the 5th is an A.

OK harzer, I will let you know my account number.

There we go:, 5 letters, building on the "U", which is the 2nd: a city in Europe:

Question to which the answer is "Greek I"

No, smaller than Turin.

The city's name can be read as a question, to which a Greek might reply "No, Greek I" or a German "No, German I" or an Englishman "No, English I" ;-))

Phil, is that a capital I as in "Iona" or a small l as in "help"? (They look the same on my screen and I don't seem to be able to change the font.)

Not in Italy.

Could also be "no, Hungarian me" by a Hungarian, "no, Bulgarian me" by a Bulgarian etc...

It's a really terrible pun

Yes, the winner takes a cigar or a set of pans, according to choice. Over to you, Betty1!

I'll take the pans, Phil. (Cigars are too stinky.)

OK, this is probably way too easy, but let's see. Although I can be green or yellow, my output is always white. 6 letters, 3rd one is R.
