Go to User cp, click on edit options on the left side of the page.

Scroll down and there is a check box for 'show avatars', also 'show sigs' and 'show pics'

Just check and save.

I see them now. I'd noticed people mention them before and thought 'Eh?'. Thanks for clearing it up

I made the lamb donner today - not being a big fan of donners I thought it tasted ok but was a bit dry tbh. and I did use the cheapest lamb mince with the high fat content. the grandkids said it was nice but I did notice they only had a little bit each.............hmmmmmmm. I must have gone wrong somewhere but cant for the life of me think where!

Yep, I did, he includes that as part of the recipe. My buns were just too puffy , not flat like the McDs ones and had a more yeasty taste i think. Thanks for the tip though

I must admit the machine at McDs was a bit like a printing press which you put the buns in and then squashed them down. Can't wait to get my copy and try out the kebab recipes.

I'm not a lover of sesame seed buns, so I used Warburtons sliced sandwich rolls for the burgers. I warmed them on the George Foreman grill and they were lovely.

Oh yeah, Molly you're right, I've used the Warburtons rolls before and they are perfect, sugar content is just right and density is similar to McDs.

Oh my word!! This is the best sweet & sour chicken balls I have ever had! I think the sauce was lovely (I swapped white vinegar for rice wine vinegar as thats what a lot of Chinese use) and teh batter was so light & crisp! We are definitely going to have this again.

Ok so your sauce looks a totally different colour to mine!! What sugar did you use please?? I'm really thinking that was the issue now

I used white sugar and light brown sugar (not muscavado, just normal brown sugar). I followed the recipe 100% apart from the different vinegar. My DH said all that was missing was a wee bit of pineapple chunk!

Excellent so its either that my takeaway has different sauce OR my method and sugar I used. The chicken and rice were perfect just my sauce needed a little help but next time I'll follow it to the letter
Thanks for letting me know :T
