Pippa.S

mummysaver good luck for tomorrow, I know what you mean about falling out, its awful is'nt it?
So how can you have chilli pasta with no chillies and no pasta I cant believe they think pasta takes too long to cook,how on earth are the next generation of cooks going to learn anything at all.

Wonder when the results of the other thread will be out, hope they dont move us. Or I wont be able to find you all when I get back :eek:

Ah well off for a shower, bed early tonight off to Spain in the morning and we got to be at the airport for 5am. See you all in 2 weeks :wave:

Evening All. Thought I'd better make sure and post today as I like this thread, even if I'm mostly MIA these days! (Just wait until I've retired at end of term, then I'll be around loads -always supposing the thread stays as is!) Not too much OS in my busy day, but used up loads of leftovers over the w/e as can't afford to keep finding science experiments thriving in my fridge. Have also had to order new vacuum cleaner - both DH and a usually clever -at -that- sort- of -thing friend have taken the current model to pieces, cleaned any filter they could find and used old wire coat hangers to poke around its innards - and it still has no suction. So that's that, new model arriving soon.
(HUGS) to anyone who needs one today.

My 3 year old ds does more cooking than that! He even knows about rolling out pizza dough. I'm so glad I learned to cook from my nan and Gran.

My mum never had time to teach me, but when I was younger I thought that was what grandparents were for :T . Mine taught me to cook, knit and do fancy sewing (some dressmaking but not keen!).

To carry on this fine tradition, ds goes for a story and a cooking session every Thursday to his nan. They make cakes or biscuits which are fairly edible. The fact that I am not required to help and can have 2 hours childfree time is not in any way a motivating factor in my enthusiasm for their cookery classes

Evening peeps,

Redruby thankyou for your information about the thinnest marmalade in the world no pectin in the nearest local shops so i shall try further afield tomorrow time permitting.

Welcome to Mountain Ash, Cornish pixie & Dragon Fairy :wave:

I`ve just had a mad run round in the kitchen to get it sorted and fetched the washing in whilst Mr Sunnyday walked the houndies. This afternoon we sat down with a cuppa and fell asleep :eek: i`ve changed what we were having for tea as it`s far too late for a big meal so we had value curry sauce with oven chips and bread & butter, very tasty.

I shall pop back over to the "other thread" now to try and catch up but looking at the size of it i shall probably not finish it tonight.

Have a good evening peeps!

Hello Everyone

Just wanted to introduce myself, I read the "other post" and posted a comment (not a mean one) then came here to see what all the fuss has been about and I have to say I think the thread is perfect as it is. All of you seem to share OS ideas and the support is amazing. I have enjoyed reading the post so much that I will hopefully be joining you all more regularly as I think I could learn a lot.

Afternoon everyone



DD&D Turkey Leg?I've never been tempted to buy one as I've always thought they might be a bit stringy.How are you planning to cook it?

Hi Lesley ooh I don't know now! I spotted on the 'what have you got in the S/C today'thread someone had done one as a casserole and I looove the dark meat on a turkey at xmas so thought I'd give it a whirl...BUT now have since been rummaging in my little :rotfl: stash of cookery books and think I may do a turkey and sweet potato pot pie ooh decisions
I bought a pile of Betty Crocker Bisquick when it was on for 38p (its back up over a pound now:eek: ) and on her website they have loads of pot pies made with a bisquick top.Very mouthwatering site that...

edited to add Bethebee have you an overlocker? When my kids were little I used to run round old towels and make little burp cloths with them for using indoors,that way I could save the 'posher' muslin ones for going out with.
I also bought kingsize flat sheets and cut them into 4's for cot sheets,saved us a few pennies too.

I havent posted on this thread before but certainly read it everyday, possibly cos I am shy (hahaha) but have never seen any evidence of nastiness or cliquery (if you know what I mean) I love reading what you are all upto and wish that the people I work with were more like on here - I am sure they all think I have lost the plot at times!!!! Explained about cleaning out freezer and listing on the front what was in it - well what a hoot it caused - until later on when the young lass in the office said she should do that too as they have about 8 pizza's in theirs and not much else worth eating! What lovely it was coming home this evening and having the tea all made - as it will be all week since my cooking marathon yesterday! I hope this thread stays and will contribute more - I love being a nosy neighbour :-)

ravylesley and d&dd - I pinched an idea from the GC thread I think, prob Mrs M's as so many of the gems I pinch are! If you shred the dark turkey meat and serve with hoisin sauce and pancakes it's a really good substitute for duck - my kids think it's fab!

Honestly you girls on here...I'm going to have to stock up on these now with all these ideas :rotfl: I keep meaning to drop in to the GC but always get waylaid being nosey elsewhere!!
I already bought an extra freezer this year with the intention of it only being on for 'fruit season' but its become rather..ummm full
If I have to make room for more jumbo turkey legs I'll have to have a mammoth jamming session :rotfl:
Anyone spotted oxtail for me yet??? My Mr T isn't stocking it neither is the big one up the road or sainsbugs I can't get any brisket either...whats going on *pouts*
