    Much more approachable as a "squeaky" :)
    I'm pleased you didn't change your avatar ... I wouldn't have recognised you ;)
    Yes... I thought I'd better leave you a clue :p
    Enjoy your Chinese - scrumptious!
    I have every intention of doing exactly that!
    Our plans have altered, my dh is treating us tonight because today he has finally (finger's X'd) reached the end of a particular career project which he has been focused on for roughly 18mths (to the exclusion of all else - hopefully he'll recognise who we all are that will be sat around the table with him ;) ) Fair enough, he won't know for *certain* for a few more days, but at least the bulk of the stress and pressure is off - PHEW!!!!
    You know he's likely to hide in dark corners for weeks to come and he probably won't recognise food unless it comes in cardboard wrapped with plastic?

    Ever considered stir fry! It's a diffrent technique but a lot quicker in terms of cooking time.

    HAve got rice pudding in mine today, smells lovely and jacket spuds in the oven due to the baked potato thread! First time I have done a dessert in the slow cooker, I might have to get a small cooker just for desserts :)

    Mmmmmmmmmmmm rice pudding.

    Have used my MR every day this week - veg and shoulder of lamb tonight. Going to do a bolognaise for tomorrow night so might just have to do a rice pud in one of my other ones. :D

    I'm cooking tomato sauce for pasta. I'm sure I read somewhere on here (but of course can't find it now) that instead of boiling the pasta in the normal way, you can just add it to the slow cooker about 45 mins before serving. Is this correct or do you have to boil it first? I have got some fresh penne pasta so would this be different from dried pasta?
