i've got a country mix here lentils that you stick in water overnight? but they never seem to soften for me

how long do you cook them for after soaking them overnight?

I use those in soups, soak over night in loads of water then boil them up until cooked before adding to a soup.

I'm doing a pasta bake tonight, got 3 slices of gammon from the xmas gammon, some broccoli and cauli and I'll make a cheesey sauce to go on top.

Hi Pooky

How do you make a cheese sauce please?

Evening all, first day back at work and all is good, although boss isnt back yet. I miss him BB glad your tests went well and I hope the come back fine :A

The work vs millionarie thing, I would/wouldnt... I certainly wouldnt stay where I am for certain! However if I was in my dream job (caring for the elderly/signing) I would stay no doubts. If I ever did win and I was in a job like the one I have now I would give it up and go volunteer for 4 days a week :T However I only thought of that when reading your posts. I have never even dremt about winning the lottery, in fact I guess except buying a house for Mum there isnt much I want

Ohhh and if anyone was bothered I can go back onto SS if my CDC allows. Basically the doc on Thursday either miss informed me or tryed to scare me or a bit of both. My 'normal' (used in the lossest sense) says thare is no way I can get water intoxification if I am passing urine, as most of the symptoms has stopped he knows they are linked to the diet, the fact my pcos is improving is a good thing and he sees no problems of me being on the diet :T He has actually asked to see me at goal to try and sort out my hair to enable me to wear low cut tops etc. So because of the original doc I am now two weeks behind but such is life.... Fingers crossed I can get back on it tomorrow

Have a great evening all
