  • I made a Mary Berry Chicken, poached pear and calvados dish this evening - now I'm a MB fan and DH has been for around 30 years, but I've written in my cookery book the following words 'life is too short to make and eat this again 6/2/15'.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sorry Tilly, but I had to laugh out loud at this one :D I had the same reaction to a J Monroe dish - life is definitely too short for duff meals - that is Nigella's mantra too :D

    Glad to hear that you are feeling better in yourself - and YAY to correct prescribing of medication that truly tackles your condition :T

    Have a good weekend - keep on taking care of YOU :D

    Evening all, great to see some improvement each day now :)

    Mr T has made maple pulled pork and he's serving with HM cornbread, a spicy bean dish and tomato salsa. Smells mmmmm.

    A joint of gammon has been in the SC all day and that's going to be coated with chilli and red currant jelly and quickly popped in the oven.

    A chicken has been chopped up and is marinating in piri peri ready for Monday.

    71p Tilly Tidied to MOS.

    Not as much achieved as I would like but it's early days. I've sorted a kitchen cupboard and fridge today. A few bits used up and the jars/bottles decluttered.

    I seem to be having GGs sleeping challenges at the moment and I intend having a very long walk with the dogs tomorrow.

    Night, Tilly x

  • Just wanted to pop in Tilly & wish you better soon, my mum has had the same as you, she's been off work for nearly three weeks with it which is astonishing as she's only had about 3 days off work in nearly 40 years (one of which was to have me :rotfl:) And my two GP friends were telling me that there's bern a nationwide spike in pneumonia this winter linked to this bug, so please do take care xx

    [STRIKE]Disclaimer: I am not in any way suggesting you are near the age of my mother, who was a child bride in any case[/STRIKE] ;):D

    Had some vitamins Tilly?

    Maybe GG needs a dog loan to help her sleep?

    :eek::eek::eek: Trust me I don't need the Hounds of the Baskerville to help me sleep :eek::eek::eek:. Just over 5 hours last night, which is great by my standard, it seems what I do need is approx 1.5 bottles of wine and a follow-up of Baileys :o:rotfl:.
