other uses for strong bread flour
This might be a stupid question - but can strong white bread flour be used for anything other than bread? I have loads of it in the cupboard but have run out of ordinary flour and am trying to avoid a trip to the shops! Could I treat it just like plain flour do you think?

whole chicken in the slow cooker
Can't fit a whole chicken in my slow cooker (which is on loan from mum). To save me going out to buy one, how do I go about chopping bits off to make it all fit? I don't really need to learn how to joint a chicken to do this, maybe just cut his legs off? :confused:

How do I get a denim stain out of a pale sofa
A friend's son sat down on our pale lilac suede sofa with damp jeans and left a nasty dark mark. (The jeans were damp because he'd been playing with water pistols). I have tried an upholstery stain remover but that did nothing and left a bit of a water mark so am not sure where to go from here
