    Not sure I should be celebrating the independence of a former colony:D

    I've got enough American cookbooks to come up with something though.It's got to be cheap,fit in with Weight Watchers No Count and be made out of what I have in my cupboards,oh and be egg and nut free:rolleyes:

    Brownies are definitely out:(

    I could do burgers.In this heat do you reckon my frozen lump of mince (should I say ground beef?) will be defrosted by 5.30 ?

    Are you American btw Halloweenqueen ?

    Special meal here is actually eating out as it's my birthday. We are going out to a Pizza place in Elgin brandishing 2 x £5 discount vouchers from the local paper. Not good money-saving but OH and I usually go out for an expensive meal (£80) on my birthday. Instead we are taking the children too (5 of them) and hopefully it will be under £50.

    Well happy Independence Day for all who want to celebrate - for those that don't, happy day anyway.
    Yep it is an American thing - had a great time over there a few years ago.
    Aussielass - tell us about Australian hols.
    Are we Brits so limited in our thinking that we cannot at least say (hope you have a good time) - or have a good holiday? :confused:
