Quick Questions on ANYTHING Old Style 3 (See first post for links to other threads)

Justamum

This morning my DS got a side plate out of the cupboard, and lying on it was a worm/maggot - not sure what. I thought at first it was a grain of cooked long grain rice as that's the size it was, but it had a brown bit at one end (presumably the head). Has anybody got any idea what it could have been? I cleaned out all the cupboards afterwards just in case, but there were no others in there.

Hi folks, daft question but can you get such a thing as a gadget for sliceing bread? I want to use my bread maker on a regular basis to save ££ but i'm absolutely useless at sliceing.

Depends how technical you want to go.

Non tech option http://www.lakeland.co.uk/13173/EvenSlice other than a bread knife

Thanks tigerfeet thats just the sort of thing I'm looking for. Now all I have to do is decide which one to choose. :think:

I have the low-tech, Lakeland version and find it works well for thick-sliced bread but is a bit fiddly for medium or thin slices.

You can, but you'll need to cook it first - I usually just wash it, put it in a metal sieve then pour boiling water from the kettle over it until it collapses down. Then pour some cold water (from the tap) over it, squeeze out some of the water, then freeze in a bag or tub. When you want to use it, defrost in a sieve so the excess water drains away (it defrosts surprisingly quickly, I always find) then you're ready to go.

HTH.

Can anyone tell me how to get my towels baby soft again? They could rip my skin at the moment! I don't use conditioner or have a tumble dryer.
Thanks, C xx

Try putting some vinegar in the conditioner section on the drawer.
