Oh Broken Wings you have made my month, do you ever put a dollop of tomato sauce on it too? or Brown ? do you sometimes have beans or God forbid as a dear friend of mine does mushy peas, cant face that one.
Seriously I note that you are a very experienced poster and wonder if you would tell me about the thanks button (do I press it and reply to a post or only press it if I am not putting a reply, I have really wanted to ask but have been afraid of attracting sarcastic replys. Best wishes MarySealed pot challenge 5430 -

As a not very experienced poster can I put my two-penneth in? I like to press the thanks button if someone has made me laugh, given me an answer to a question, or to show agreement with what they've said. I'll post if I think my thanks needs explaining or just 'cos I've got something to add, otherwise not. I'd always rather go for thanking someone than not, after all it's free!!:DYou never get a second chance to make a first impression.0 -

I confess I have never fed the family on Egg & Chips,(or beans on toast etc other than as a supper snack) which might well explain why we are both chubby & skint !! I am certainly going to introduce it as a regular though because I could almost taste it as I was reading the mopping up comments. I wonder if I try too hard with dinners sometimes.
I am thinking of doing a short cookery course when the evening classes start in september just to learn something new & get out of my cooking rut.
Thanks for the inspiration!!
Anastacia....another happy bug.........sorry,blogger embracing the simple life0
