I do knock up top quality cheese omelettes occasionally .... stove-top and nuked ones. I've got a knack for those.

I eat 14 a week.....with a massive fry-up in the cafe

The breakfast is known as the ‘Mocha Special’ (Cafe Mocha)

I think we’re all screwed if fry-ups are bad for you :eek:

I can never be bothered to do a fry up these days, and I don't like really trust cafes. I don't like the cheap bacon / sausages. So when I want a fry up I arrange to drop in at my parents' house for Sunday brunch.

Almost always boiled for me, somewhere between soft and hard. On weekend mornings I get 2 extra whites as OH only eats the yolk. Very occasionally I will have a 'rare' omelette.

Yes,boiled i like the olk set at the edge, soft in the middle. I have a red rubber egg thing that goes in the pan and tells me soft, medium, hard...most useful kitchen gadget EVER:)

Looked like a boy film to me.

I like...hmm:oThe slipper and the rose. Its so pretty.

In some ways its a boy film, but there's a not so hidden subtext the plot. I was dragged to see it at the cinema and really liked it. So much so I'm watching it tonight and completely forgot about The Apprentice

Been really cold, very and wet here. Beer!

Edit: that was meant to be 'brrr' rather than beer. Its been more g+t today here, though feels more like it should be a hot chocolate at this particular moment!

We've got the same thing, I think we have discussed before!

However, I think the garlic press is more useful, all things considered.

I am more than happy to talk about boiling eggs over and over again!

The thing with the garlic press is that although it is inefficient and wasteful, you do not have to ever touch the garlic with your hands, which means your hands don't stink of garlic for 2 days afterwards.

I rub my hands on the metal tap, the smell goes. Failing that i rub parsely in my hands then wash them. I find garlic on the breath far harder to elininate ( boiling water over- rosemary sprig next day, as rarely fancy eatung parsely at supper.

I'm with you on this, proper knife, give it a whack, eel it and then chop finely. #Not that I really like garlic enough to bother to cook with it.

Best kitchen gadget - a really good potato peeler, very sharp with exactly the right gap.
