    Is it made of real cowboys? :D

    Like granny loaf is made of real grannies, and shepherd's pie is made of real shepherds?

    Granny loaf is an egg-free fruitcake - my mum used to make it. Must get the recipe. I think it was from a very well known basic cookbook though - either the Be-ro book or Delia's Complete Cookery Course.

    Edit: think it's actually fat-free as well as egg-free! Basically a very tasty low fat cake!

    Will ask my mum what cookbook it's in when I see her tomorrow...

    GGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR after waiting for days for my friend to make up her mind whether she wanted my craft table and the stove type fire in the sitting room, she has just said she does not want them!!!!! 2 days before my internet connection is switched off...........I could wring her damn neck.....she knows I need to dispoise of them before we move, we just do not have room for them in the apartment............................

    We have had a letter this morning and it appears we are getting a visit from an income advisor.........sounds interesting, it is someone from the local council who deals with people on different benefits and to see if they are entitled to any other benefits.........................

    Been and collected my script and a bag of spuds, so enough to keep me going this weekend and till next Wednesday when I will have a look in the freezer and do a top up shop until after we move.

    More stuff on freecyle this afternoon, including my craft table, bugs me, but it has to go and I am off line for 10days after Monday.

    Been to the dentist - and I didn't need a root filling - yaaay.

    (Well not this time)

    Need to go now and sort out the slow cooker. Tried to make veggie curry a la Gingham last night, but after 6 hours the carrots were still hard, so we had to settle for cheese on toast (one of my fave meals). Think I'll put it in a pot and cook it normally. I know its not very OS to admit it, but I'm not that great with the SC. Soups are OK, but otherwise I miss the depth of flavour you get with ordinary cooking. The stuff doesn't seem to "Concentrate" the same way it does in the oven or on the hob. I keep trying tho'.

    What changed?
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
