    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

    panda-upside-down....jpg

    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 :o. I'll actually have a little money left overs to go to savings :D (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 :o).

    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

  • Love the picture :):)

    If it had been JT shin of beef, I'd have been inviting myself for dinner :j

    Sounds like new SC needs one of these :love:

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

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

    Internal gardening done :D.

    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

  • 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?
