    hi, still not back to following mogins list as i'm just doing what i can when i can at the moment.

    today,
    2 amazon items packed and posted
    errands ran for mil
    big shop done at asda and top up at aldi (got loads of reduced bagains at asda was a battle fitting them in freezer)
    dw emptied and filled and back on again
    also reorganised and cleaned out a kitchen cupboard freeing up space meaning we had somewhere to store extra juice etc.
    :love: married to the man of my dreams! 9-08-09:love:
  • So proud of myself, i have kept up with the list for two days in a row. Now lets see how i manage when i have w**k for the next three aswell, no chance!

    Too many to namecheck, but.....

    Pigpen - I would have thought a large SC'd joint would be right down your street. Here are your detailed instructions:

    1. Take large joint
    2. place in SC
    3. switch on
    4. errr......
    5. that's it.

    There is a rub for chicken involving paprika to give the skin a 'roasted' look somewhere round here. If I find it I'll post it up (or a friendly BG might :D)

    -FlyBoy-

    But does it need water or anything fancy in it?? Or just animal flesh?? How long does it need to be in for?? See... I is dim.. I'm a little LED lol I don't need 'roasted' look.. The cats get the skin and I don't think either of them are picky, they eat pigeon for goodness sake.. they'll eat anything!

    You mean you had to slosh it with brandy five times??:eek:

    Indeed! we thought that most of the brandy would have evaporated but tested it first and declared it unfit for child consumption although we did let them have a little bit from the middle which they hated.

    You is anything but dim, lady!!!!!

    Ok - There is a school of thought that says you should put water in, but I don't go to school :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I have had the following:

    Chicken - large one about 6 hours on med
    lamb - one that serves 4-6, about the same

    Others say put some veg on the bottom with water, then sit your former thing with a face on it, so as to keep it out of the water

    I have just chucked it in, personally, and its been fine. It generates enough of its own juices to stop any dry incidents

    ~Cool... I might get my faceless piece of carcass from the cold and frosty place and scoff it at the weekend.. that sounds like my kind of cooking.. :D

    I don't go to school either.. unless I am in need of yelling at a teacher or to drop off my little treasures. And I certainly never had a thought!!

    and what do you mean I'm not din.. you must be joking.. the only thing I complain about is my hair colour.. if I was blonde noone would expect anything more than I give them.. confusion!!
