    Hello, that reminds me I haven't been on OS for a while. Need some slow cooker recipes so will look there first. I have homemade chilli defrosting in my SC at the moment.

    I was going out tonight but it is snowing again and generally freezing cold so I have decided to stay in. That'll save me about £50 and a hangover though, not to mention removing the likelihood of falling over in the snow :eek:

    There's a thread over there for a make something new challenge where you actually open your recipe books and make something different every week. I am so hungry now going through them and looking at the photos :drool:

    As I said over there, I have a penchant (that's YM talk that is ;)) for Gordon Ramsey and have all his books but only buy em for the pictures....of Gordon that is, not of the food ;)

    No laughing at my wrinkles - my legs aren't very long....................

    Not I am also not overweight - I am just under-tall - I'd be a fantastic shape if I was taller!

    But alas I am similar in size to those EWOKs mentioned by those at Bear Towers
