Because all Alice's ducks with holes in have gone mouldy inside.

Anyone know a salt free hummous recipe so i can make some for T as I have chickpeas sitting in the cupboard.

I would just omit any salt and replace it with some lemon juice in your normal recipe. Otherwise I think my recipe is only chickpeas, some tahini (about a teaspoon or so) and lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil.....

This is why I sometimes give OH written instructions. They're not foolproof but they do help.

:rotfl: my DH NEVER reads instructions which is mainly why I do everything in the house :rotfl:

:rotfl: Husband appears not to be talking to me, but he had a query about the ongoing legal battle against my former landlord and called my lawyer. I happened to comment a while ago how annoying it is that she keeps calling me Mrs SS and herself Dr Lawyer, and when he answered the phone just now she must have asked for Mrs and he, all fake innocence, says, Who? Do you mean Doctor SS? Question answered anyway and we're taking the horrible deposit thief to court.

lol - hello Dr :wave:

Susan I have been looking but not found one

Edit: found one.

They only ship to US/Canada.

And the Mega Shop Bot doesn't turn up any of 3's "Friendly Floatees".

Ah booo, I'm sorry I always forget to check that because I send things to my BIL.

MacSmiler, I don't bother about it normally, but in Germany titles are bizarrely important so ignoring it is very disrespectful IYSWIM. I went through a stage right after I finished where I refused to answer to anything but Doctor, but that only lasted about three hours and then I got bored of it.

Oooooooooooh, my colleague/friend has just announced the safe arrival of her baby!! After 30 minutes of established labour!!! And it's her first!!!! She's going to have to install some sort of restraining device for the next one :rotfl:

Afternoon all..

Hope everyone is well.. will go back for a catch up soon

We've been to see the eye consultant this morning. Looks like Rhys will be having an op to sort out his squint in Jan/Feb next year :cool: Have to see the consultant again on 4th Jan then it'll be 2-6wks after that for the op. Obviously I'm a bit nervous but mostly happy it'll be sorted - we have to accept patching isn't going to solve it alone. I trust the consultant (my good friend is a theatre nurse who's worked with him for a long time) and he's a nice guy. It'll be a one day thing, no need for dressings after just drops for a month. Hopefully it'll be here but there's a chance it might have to be at Sheffield due to the aesthetics and kidney issues.

Off to grab some lunch while Rhys snoozes and have a read back..

They do get very grotty don't they!

Is there a reason for ducks having a hole?

Susan I couldn't find any friendly floatees for sale, but kept coming across the very cute story about them. Did you see it?

I've just started a throw-it-in-and-cross-your-fingers type dinner in the slow cooker. Lets hope its ok!

I had peppered steak that needed using, so sliced it up and fryed it off, threw it in with some shallots that needed using, and an old beef casserole sauce pack mix that I found lurking in the back of the cupboard.

Alice's are in the dishwasher. This is why we put the lid down when we flush the toilet though.
