Cooked chicken - ok to eat?

Unfortunately I left it in the car overnight and for most of today. So about 24 hours. It still felt cool to touch but I'm wondering if I should just through it away?…

Where did I go wrong with my bread??
I got a bread machine for mother's day [STRIKE]after dropping shameless hints for almost 6 months[/STRIKE] and I've been having a great time experimenting with it. I've been mostly making herby loaves and dough for ciabattas/subs but today I decided to try a plain white loaf for the first time. I found this recipe on…

Unusual Recipe Help
Hello Old Stylers. I doubt many remember me. I've posted on here very occasionally but lurk quite a lot. Anyway, I am looking for some recipe ideas.

Weights of pre-packed fruit & veg
Am I the only one to have noticed that some pre-packs have more of the produce in them than other packs? I only noticed this a couple of weeks ago, but now I weigh several packs and have found the weights can vary by several grams, so I buy the heaviest pack. I guess as long as they don't weigh less than the stated weight…

Tightening the belt
Hi just popping on for a but of advise. Our income has just dropped by £200 a month and I'm sat with various spread sheets, lists & plans.

Home Made Chicken Nuggets and Fish Fingers/Fishcakes
I used to make these when my daughter was little, but much time has passed by since then, and now have a 2 year old granddaughter to make for. I'm doubting myself as to what I did. :o As I live abroad, they only visit once a year, hence my child cooking skills haven't been utilised in such a long time. I am intending on…
