Last time I did online shopping and bought ginger I ended up with six big pieces of it :rotfl: don't even know how I managed that

Did you know you can grate the ginger and freeze it?

I just freeze it as it comes....its easier to peel and grate when it's frozen!! :D

UPSIDE DOWN PANDAS

Last night's dinner was proper lush :T. Was going to be John Torode's shin of beef tonight but as slow cooker has cracked it will be lamb steaks .....em with something nice done to them.....

New slow cooker will be ace as pot can be put on hob to brown :T, mucho cleverness :j.

So, 4 items selling ebay, 13 with no bids . 1 item has 12 watchers but it's all probably MSE and HUKD folk waiting to see what it sells for :rotfl:.

Payday Weds, well probably around 10.30pm Tuesday night, not that I'll be refreshing my bank balance every 5 minutes you understand . I'll actually have a little money left overs to go to savings (fully expecting to have forgotten a bill that's higher than the money left over _pale_). Steeled myself to accept there will be no overall reduction in mortgage balances this month though as had to pay builder .

Off to have brekkie then tidying of garden &/or lady garden :rotfl:.

Happy Friday :T

Spring is in the air so let me be the first to say :easter_os

WFH - love that moment when I switch the CH timer to 'on all day' :j.

Tonight I will mostly be channeling Ken Hom (due to an accidental over-supply of ginger ).

Thought for the day:
When you do something for charity and collect sponsorship money why does some of it always disappear into your own purse and you have to top it up :rotfl:.

Welcome to the over-supply of ginger club Gally! Here's what I did with mine when I accidentally ordered 1kg instead of 1 piece :rotfl:http://coconutraita.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/pink-ginger-cordial.html

Possibly, will assess the situation once it has been used. Hopefully it will be the " searing slow cooker " . Wonder how long it will take Natty to get one

Lamb steaks with mustard on a bed of sliced sweet pots .

Internal gardening done .

Hello Tilly (and the real Tilly when she reads this)

Very organised so I don't believe its you GG

Is Natty allowed to purchase a slow cooker, did you allow for shopping in her budget

Tilly_MFW_in_6_YRS

You and Radish have the most fab smilies

I love having my shopping list and menu plan ready to go. I get the 'first day of school with new bags and pencil case' feeling :rotfl:

How's the cous cous mountain going?
