  • I usually skin the chicken thighs unless I'm roasting them. Personally I find the skin horribly soggy and rubbery when it's cooked in amongst other things. The good thing about thighs is the skin peels off really easy, unlike drumsticks where it has to be hacked off with a knife.

    Seen this in Sussex Stationers Bookshop in Canterbury but there are other branches for under a tenner. Picked it up but wasn't impressed.

    I have to admit I felt a little smug knowing I bought this book off Amazon ages ago, after joining MSE - I think it was a penny or not much more!:)

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    You are joking????
    I have a copy on my shelves I've had almost all our married life (38 years!)
    Can't imagine anyone wanting it - it's been very well used and the pages are very discoloured.....no didn't think anyone would pay for that!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
