Good Morning KC & all!

A lot seems to have happened since Monday!

I 'lost' yesterday to sheer exhaustion - barely got through the work day & did no more than cook & eat dinner in the evening - but good news it that the blulite finally showed up - so maybe OH & I might be re-energized by using it - it's charging today & will be put to full use by both of us tomorrow!

Recipes -another one here who has to admit to owning far too many cookbooks - and a few ingredient reference books as well - full colour picture spreads are always effective bait! - that beetroot choc brownie recipe sounds intriguing - is it HFW? & online?

KC have you tried recipies from the Moosewood collection low-fat vegetarian cookbook? - that and Diet for a Small Planet are highly recommended for helping vegetarians with Arthritis - The Moosewood one is my all-time favorite!!! - Picked it up as a uni student with who had to be veggie due to budget (or lack thereof) - absolutely everything I've made from it is super tasty & recipies lend themselves well to batch cooking!

KC - am intrigued by your plans for trading - what a brilliant idea to have a second income stream you can focus on from home and lovely that you are getting ready to focus on it again!

Suppose it's time to sign off & do some actual work - lol :rotfl:

Hope everyone has a lovely day!

Hiya!

Doesn't feel like it, tbh ...

I 'lost' yesterday to sheer exhaustion - barely got through the work day & did no more than cook & eat dinner in the evening - but good news it that the blulite finally showed up - so maybe OH & I might be re-energized by using it - it's charging today & will be put to full use by both of us tomorrow!
:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I might invest some of the first trading profits in something like that

It sounds like EH knows about that one - I wouldn't actively seek out anything with chocolate now

To be truthful, I've never heard of it I'll check it out. But I have enough recipes to be going on with - I'm very, very basic, all I really want is a couple of ways to use flour....

It comes to us all :rotfl:

Hope everyone has a lovely day!

Wow, well I just logged on to bleat about the trading :eek: There was one system trade there, which would've made a profit of 17 points, thank you very much. But it was so hard working it all out :eek::o and I think I might need glasses plus there's an extra decimal point been added for information only, and it makes everything that much more finicky. I'm really going to need that two weeks practising :eek:

Hope you're having a nice day too, RT.

It looks like its been quiet on the forums today - I haven't been on till now either but I can report **finally** that I've registered at the GP's! So thats one good job done. I've also spent ages working out the trip from Liverpool to Ely in March - megabus freebie to London, then pay to Ely, megatrain to Stafford and pay via Birmingham, all sorts of things. Then I thought I'd look at it directly via thetrainline, much as I hate them on the day I want it, the price per individual train *varied* by as much as £50 - so I went for a cheap one! 5 hour journey, no changes, costs £10! I shall have some knitting on the go by then, so with that and a book, and a new train route, it will be lovely

Sounds like a bargain KC

Great news on the train KC. I often do 5 hour journeys to Cardiff. Mostly I work but sometimes I just take a good book or a notebook and write notes whilst people watching. Great stuff for my short stories. The Liverpool trains are usually great for people watching.

OOh I love the train! I go from Glasgow to Leeds and Glasgow to Leamington for work. I just take a book or a mag and sometimes my wee DVD player and I'm quite happy! £10 is a great price...and well done on registering at the GP's.

Thanks guys! Apart from European journeys, the biggest I've done is London-Glasgow, maybe 20 years ago, to set up riding schemes with the Scottish version of MENCAP - I lived in the railway hotel in Glasgow for a week, wouldn't take an ensuite to save the charity money but it was fun living in Glasgow for a little while I got a lot of knitting done on the train journey too

Hi Karma & crew,


I love train journeys too - it's like seeing the secret side of the country & peoples lives. Rarely use them these days other than for travelling to London but travelled all over the place when DD1 was small, I had a sutdent card & she went wherever for just £1

I'll stay out of the cookbook chat ... last one I bought was 'The Frugal Cook' have never used it

Karmacat

It really is, isn't it! One of the best is northwards from London Bridge at the moment - they take a different route towards Blackfriars from what they used to, and you're looking at 19th century London, with a few hotspots of 21st century London, more or less, its fascinating.

The cookbook chat - yep, I don't *quite* know how that came about on my thread, as I'm so rubbish at actual cooking (tho I do have a cookery O level!). DT kindly sent me a gluten free cookery paperback, and it has a good chapter on bread, which I'm going to use for my first foray into cooking .... I lurve bread

Lula-Hula

I also have an 'O' level in that subject, but in my time it was called 'food & nutrition' so that probably explains my lack of ability/enthusiasm I shall however, be unveiling the slow cooker & trying it out for the first time this week.

Mmmmmm bread, yes, I could happily live on it
