I was looking at dragon fruit with my Mum today in Asda & was wondering what it is please? It was next to the sharon fruit, which I love, is it at all similar? Also how would you prepare/serve it? TIA

Waitrose and YouTube for the latter question, I have no idea about whether it's similar or not because I had to google it to find those! :rotfl:

Thank you for that! I enjoyed watching the couple talking about it on the video I'll get one tomorrow & give it a whirl I think.

In Pink's absence - would you like me to show you up Only joking

I hand washed a cashmere cardigan but left it wet too long and it developed a horrible mustly smell, I have rewashed it but it still smells yuck, is there anything I can do, or is it ruined?? thanks

Try this thread - smelly clothes. I'd try hanging it up outside, even if it's raining - that usually helps to get rid of lingering smells.

I am a silly silly girl. I used a brush thingy for butter and bread and then decided i would saved the leftover melted butter , and put it in the fridge (but forgot to take the pastry brush out). Now its full of hardened butter :rotfl:

Any ideas how to clean it? Is hot water such a silly idea or will it all gloop? Im so stupid. Debated putting it in the mircowave, but wasnt sure how the wooden part would go with that......

I think the wooden handle would be fine with that. Use a low setting to start with, rather than the hottest. You will probably only have to soften it to get the brush out, then work washing up liquid through the bristles before rinsing in plenty of hot water!
