Night Annie!

Pink - I have one of his books... not a huge fan though... I need detailed recipes... and PICTURES!

Just one picture... so I know what it looks like when it's done... so I know if I am doing mine right!

I know... screw loose somewhere!

Julie - oh I know what you mean, I HATE cookery books that does not have a picture of everything as how they should be... I mean how am I suppose to know if what I am making is totally wrong???

I'll be up late as OH is working till 3am... am I the only one that finds it difficult to go to sleep when OH is working late?

Nope, you are not alone - thats the reason I am not sleeping.. My OH isn't working late, he is working abroad Am feeling so lonely after the kids go to bed.

pink_numbers

oh no, that must be SO hard for you how long is he away for?

Fruball

Not sure atm months, rather than weeks

pink_numbers

ouch, months is bad, but not knowing exactly how long must be so hard... The most I've ever had to do was one month at a time away from OH and those were hard enough.

don't worry, we shall keep you entertained here

btw thanks for your signature, I've never thought of crocus as early source of pollen!

Agreed! but I have noticed that since losing my job, that cooking basic meals (stews, pies, soups) are more fun then new recipes...!

My problem is I self impose these rules:

• No meal can be cooked twice in a 4 week period (it can be eaten as long as the leftover last)
• I cannot cook with Chicken, Beef or Mince more then once a week for each!!
• Tuesday is Fish night
• Fish should be eaten 1-2 times a week... Omega 3 fish a must for one of them

So I trawl through my cook books for new ideas all the time... I love 'goodfood' and get a free subscription using tesco vouchers!

I can go 6 weeks without doubling up and cooking the same meal twice...!

I also find it hard to sleep when my Husband is away! But then the cats start getting clingy... and 1 starts purring... and he's so loud... you have no hope even if you tried to sleep!
