Whenever I'm low at work, you always cheer me up Why is it we can all find like minded people on here, and we all get on (near enough) all the time, but in the normal day to day life, most people make life a pain in the rear end!!!…

more sausages
Does anyone make their own sausages/sausage meat? I am fed up of buying sausages that either have no meat in them or are full of gristly bits. Even the most expensive ones are not a patch on sausages of yesteryear, so I thought I would have a go at making them myself. Googling produces lots of sausage recipes but not to…

How to stop the milkman - I am a complete chicken
Getting the milk from the milkman is so expensive, that I am going to have to start buying from the supermarket again.

what's best chicken wings or thighs?
I am thinking about doing a southern/cajun bake thingy and wondered what people find better - wings or thighs? I know thighs are okay for stuffing but I was thinking of making up some cajun type sauce and oven baking?

Smelly football shirt
DH's fave bright yellow (no accounting for taste) football shirt is minging. It's washed as soon as he takes it off (well, when he comes home) and then dried but it still smells. I have tried soaking it in epsom salts but the smell is still there. I seem to remember that we had this happen before and then it just went.…

Slow Recipes
This month's free Waitrose mag [Seasons] has a whole crop of recipes for slow cooking [in the oven] but I think they'd adapt very well to the slow cooker. OH and I are adapting the sausage and apple gravy one next week. Aril
