    the recipe I chose said 'feeds 4'. I think it should have said 'feeds 4......families' it has made a huge amount!!

    Sounds like a Spud sized portion :T :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    OK everyone, honest opinion..........you all know that I have been out for a lovely lunch today right?

    ............am I a really bad Mother at giving my kids a Pot Noodle for Dinner and my OH a ready made pie? :rotfl: I so cant be bothered:A

    Usually if I go out for lunch on a Friday I am too pizzed to cook (or speak for that matter) so it would have to be a pot noodle and OH would have to put his own pie in the oven:rotfl:

    I'm impressed :T Yep - an American recipe :rolleyes: I've just compared it to a Gordon Ramsay and he uses a 1/3 of the amount of cream for 4 portions!

    Hi all,

    *bunny puts on brave face*


    Horrible day at work...I hate it. Nuff said.


    Still have cold and it's moved to my chest and so apparently 'shouldnt run' but I am going to put on my new shnazzy high viz gilet and go for a brisk walk instead...

    Joe was dry last night (because I put him on toilet before we went to bed) and not sure how DD has got on today as she is still with Nana at her 'dance class' (and Joe-will he die from embarassment when he knows he went to 'dance' class when he's older??!?!)

    Sammy-I would put odd socks on, but bring proper ones just to wind up Nat! LOL! And if it was me, I would put lipstick on my teeth to look a prat to wind her up as well, lol!
