fancy cold cooked chicken for a salad?
I tend to buy my chickens whole and then joint before using and freezing. I have some pieces that I would like to use for tomorrows salad dinner. How can I make them into something tasty?

We're having afternoon tea over on DFW (please feel free to come join us) and we got onto the subject of liking Kit Kats, but not wanting to put money into Nestle because of their lack of morals in advertising.

What can I do with leftover Lemon Tart mix?
Hi, Made a really nice lemon tart yesterday for a friend's coffee morning, from a BBC food recipe.
