That looks great! Its the everyday stuff thats important - me and my sister spent hours yesterday watching a video from 1991, they had a camera when they cost £700 :eek: We saw the kids outfits when they were little..... my mullet hairdo..... we saw my nan, my dad, my brother in law, my brother's still alive but his hair was also amazing (down to his waist!).

When you're an old lady you can pull this piccie out of your computer and bore everyone rigid by showing them how you cooked! :rotfl::D

Fab cooking fay, I'm well impressed Might even try something similar myself later in the week

Am not impressed - part of my tooth just fell out Entire body falling to pieces and I'm not even 30 yet! Pah!

Lemon_Tree

sorry to hear about your tooth Cheery, you're a meer child so i'm sure you won't fall further to bits.

Wonder if i've been sufficiently creative to be allowed to continue to post.
Turned 2 portions of mince (+soya mince sssshhh!) and lots of veggies into at least 4-5 portions of bolognase
roasted some beef, sufficient to make stew afterwards i'm sure
2 giant yorkshires
roasted spuds and parsnips
mincemeat cake, for first time ever the top didn't burn, thanks mum for the greaseproof paper tip
apple and fig crumble,
all done in the same oven thereby saving leccy. I don't usually use the big oven so got a bit frustrated with the fan bit of it.
starting to get hungry now, just waiting for yorkshires to finish and we can have a proper roast, can't remember last time we had a proper roast.

Goodness - thought I'd achieved a fair bit today but looking at what you lot have done...! Chicken in the oven right now for a late dinner and then the balance will be turned into curry and other bits tomorrow. Veggies prepared and sitting in their salt ready to make picallilli tomorrow night too. Did two loads of washing this morning plus one overnight last night, and have (hurrah!) cleared the balcony enough that the airer was able to go back out there to get stuff dry. :j

LT your yorkies sound lovely - I think we'll have to have some with our chicken dinner tonight now - I know it's not traditional but who cares eh!

Fay your cooking is dead impressive! Were you standing on a chair to take that piccy?! :rotfl:

Cheery - oh poor tooth. :eek: Dentist needed or was it not a big enough bit for that? I chipped a tiny bit off one of mine years ago buyt decided to leave it and see how it went - glad I did as it's never given me a days trouble and I bet a dentist would have wanted to fiddle with it.

Well its easy if I move around the elephants etc I have two freezers a chest one and a 6ft larder one - the chest freezer is full of fruit, milk, bread and um breaded goods - oh yeah and of course tomatoes in the form of red canons

The larder one is full of meat, fish, cheese, cooked portions of teas (various birds :eek:, piggies and hamsters) yup that's it for that one

Cheery daff - poor you

EH - of course I stood on a chair I am a midget remember!! Well done on the killer cooking........

None of you noticed my killer daisy table cloth though eh?

HOme back after negotiating some more tomatoes from work (I can have all the damaged ones - hey free stuff I aint complaining:T got home late from class.....cream crackerd got home ot DS having put in the yorkies and improvised roast potatoes (he didnt know how to make them) so we've just had a lovely roast beef dinner with yorkies and um potato wedges :rotfl:but I came home to dinner being 10 mins away and he was really chuffed with himself - bless

Waves to all away for a mooch around the boards and try and score this months AFD's I hope I get it right ............I very stupidly added the moneysaving aspect to this months challenge to spur people on - silly silly girl!! (Its not that bad I have a spread sheet set up at work with all the days etc and savings plugged in )

This makes it sounds like the birds, hamsters etc are going to be eaten for tea!

It's practically hidden under the super-cook-up results!

Fay, inspired by you I too did some cooking and made a pot of free-range pea soup. I know some people say it's cruel to eat peas but these had a very happy life, not kept in a bag but roaming freely around my freezer and on occasions having a good run across my kitchen floor. So, I think it's ok to eat them .

Actually, made 'pea and green medley' soup, otherwise known as 'pea and anything not quite liquid in the bottom of fridge' soup. So, peas, broccoli, celery and a few mangy mange tout . Tasted good though

GG great stuff = I love free range peas (I think they ahve nicer personalities......I have never been a fan of those non-exploring peas no imagination those ones) - and loving the soup yum we have free range sweetcorn in this house too - I tell myself if its roaming about the freezer/floor/worktops etc some of it always escapes in the freezer therefore some of the frozen wildlife is at least being well tended too

EH well its all about rationing and if thing get thin then if puffin is good enough for gordon ramsay then, its good enough for us

Oh new additon = Skylark now resident in the household
