Congratulations. Hope you translate more books and be succeeded in whatever you want to achieve. About the promise, that was a joke, there is no need to commit yourself to that and send me a copy. Your happiness and success are all I desire. Thanks for the offer. And good luck with Weekend of Diet, hope there are interesting recipes that you can share with us as well. I'm very fond of that chicken mole, and make it every now and then. Cheers,http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htm#172532Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:03:21 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:172532Anonymous4http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htm#172532http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-172532.xmlThank you guys!!

(Here'a a delicious apple pie - oh, I was out of apples, so I substituted hamburger!)http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htm#171332Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:03:21 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:171332LanguageLover6http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htm#171332http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-171332.xmlAre you are back to cooking, Antonia?http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htm#171325Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:03:21 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:171325Mister Micawber7http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htm#171325http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-171325.xmlPretty much as in the example, Antonia: something in exchange for something similar . The degree of similarity depends on the context. The phrase is similar to tit for tat , except that the latter has to do with retaliation, while like for like is more often used for benefits.http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htmFri, 27 Feb 2009 03:03:21 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:171305Anonymous8http://www.englishforums.com/English/AntoniaLikeForLike/crxmn/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-171305.xmlHello! Can you please help me to find the exact meaning of this expression: You can swap like for like : for example, any fruit or vegetable can be swapped for an equivalent-sized serving of another fruit or vegetable (except potatoes). Thank you very much
