Sorry, but I've had to delete a post for copyright reasons; recipe is here

Hi Penelope

I did not get the recipe from the site you show but I do understsnd your reason for deleting it.:) However what made it different from other pepper soups I have tried is putting the mixture through a sieve after blending. It really does make a huge difference.

I've done it before, and don't like it - how was it for you

Thanks for the replies......well I made it and it was ok. Not as strong as I was expecting, but not as nice either, considering I love parmesan and usually through mountains of it onto spaghetti . This was my first time making a cheese sauce and it was easier than I imagined, so will stick with the home made (OS) stuff from now on

I've had a jar of goose fat in my fridge for a year - it smells fine (well as 'fine' as a pot of fat can.) Do you think it will be OK to cook spuds in on Sunday for a family get together ? DD pregnant and littlest person is only 3 so don't want to poison them ?

Hello all,

I need to clean the plate of my iron. I don't mean de-scalling though.

I've ironed something and it was abit too hot and now the iron sticks.

Previously, I used to have a type of stick cleaner which you rubbed onto the iron whilst it was hot. But thats all gone now - sounds like abit of an ongoing problem there

Anyway, I bought this from Betterware/Kleeneze, I've checked in Sainsburys and Wilkinsons but can't find anything similar.

Any ideas?

Have you tried Lakeland? It's the kind of thing they're likely to have.

Hi there. Am using vinegar to clean my toilets for the first time ever (well I have only been on old-style for 3 years )

Can I ask, do you use cloths to mop out the water at the bottom of the bowl first? Am a bit confused about how the vinegar stays strong enough to dissolve limescale if it gets diluted with the toilet water.

Thanks,

Weezl x

Should be fine - as long as it smells ok

I use a yogurt pot to scoop out most of the water, then I can chuck/recycle as appropriate

Left over chicken gravy - what do I do with it? First time I ever made it (proper gravy!) but had a fair bit left so froze it. So far on my weeks menu plan is shepherds pie (with lamb mince) and sausage & baked bean hotpot. Can I stick it in either of those, or would that be a bit odd?
