September or October?

It is still September (tell my bank that, they think I have been spending money on October 1st!!)

Jayne in case I forget before reading back.

Think it was you who spotted the l'oreal glitch.

Thank you so much:)

What L'oreal glitch ?

All I could see was that it was comparing against sainsbobs correctly

I would lay it on foil, chuck in half a very roughly chopped onion, some black pepper and a wee bit of oil. If you have any Worcester sauce, a splash of that too

Wrap the foil round it and chuck it in the oven. Cooking temperature depends on how hungry you are

Thanks :T I like it well done but tender. And need it to be ready for around 7pm tonight :eek:

I'm doing my very first joint of topside of beef. It's 2.2kg has anyone any suggestions on how best to do it please? I don't have a slow cooker. :eek: Is it possible to boil for a few hours then roast for the final hour? Would be sooo grateful for any advice please

I make a bed of veg, 2 onions cut into 8 wedges, a few chunky cut carrots, leeks, parsnips,(whatever you have really) 2 value stock cubes and an inch of water/wine, sit the beef on top of that lot whack the slow cooker on high and leave it to do its own thing, timings are difficult as it depends if you want it rare- well done test it by popping a long skewer in to see if the middle is hot

Skim the fat off the top of the juices when finished, thicken with cornflour add a dash of balsamic and theres you gravy

Did you try the aisle with the dilute juice/squash etc?

even checked with staff, it was taken off the sales list in this area in august so no more orders after that, I wonder if Henlans is near me ??

Thanks :T I don't have a slow cooker :eek: oh and there's no top layer of fat. When buying it I thought, no fat was a good thing? :rotfl:

They're actually not on mine anymore. I thought I'd give them a 2nd chance when I saw they apologised. .

I can see all the digs are still coming my way though but I'm rising above it.

Not from me. (confused smiley)

I think I had some sort of brain storm last night/ this morning!

Too much shopping and not enough relaxing:)
