    Yes Arty i have just made mine remember to half the quantities or you will be eating pizza forever more. It is quite quick and easy to do but i needed a bit more flour so dont put it away or you will have to have everything covered in dough as you try to get the flour out of the cupboard :o
    Good luck i am going out for a few hours will be back later on to hear how everyone is doing

    :rotfl:*shanks* my having a life has consisted of watching aussie masterchef, eating takeaway curry and drinking wine - totally off plan. Will probably have one of the pasta dishes tonight. I've not gone totally off plan, I did make paul merritt bread and also made a weetabix loaf as a thank you present.

    arty, put the hob under the chicken to as low as it will go :)

    poached meat can go tough if the water is too hot. The smallest ring and the lowest heat is best :D

    :j:j:j:j:jGo arty!! Well done you!
    Ps I dont have a sc and wont as dont like the thought of food out that long...instead I hav a large pan from wilkinsons that cost £8 and will do a whole chicken (as will a roastig pan with water and tin foil over top) if you ever have enough spare moola...our eezl wouldnt want you buying anything special. If the worst comes to worst you can do it in batches in a saucepan - chop chicken up and poach in a pan ...very proud of you and dont mean that in a patronising way..I really am!

    Made Rise e bisi last night but had to improvise.

    Used quarter of ingredients but substituted half a tin of marrowfat peas and low fat cheddar.

    Good size portion but didn't like sloppieness of it.

    Am going to buy a small bag of grated Gran Padano from Mr A next week and try it again but with frozen peas . Will also make it drier.

    Have made single portions of Carrot Cake, Zesty Orange Flim Flam, Apple Curd, and Spicy Apple and Pea soup, with remains of marrowfat peas. Will report back later after tasting session.:D
