    Agreed. I know I can get 1 frame out the 5 from the range. The rest, I guess we'll be talking going to a framing shop. Gulp.
    Cheesy cheese cheese .... and cheese topped. Add some cheese after cooking to.
    Went for cheese & ham.
    T'was lovely. Omnomnom.
    Probably not as healthy as LIRs Risotto though...:o

    I noticed that my bin was quite toasty the other day... (holds nose)
    No green waste collection new jelly.
    All the more encouragement for full utilisation of the composter though!:j

    Speaking of which, the first signs of lettuce sprouts are appearing. Will plant much more lettuce next weekend.:)

    Probably a bit better than the Pukka pie/chips/mushy peas I had on Friday ... and the chips/mushy peas I had yesterday :)

    Today's been a bunch of cheap sweets and chocolate fingers .... weetabix/milk/sugar .... toast/scrambled eggs/tinned tomatoes.

    I got the big frame we mentioned from the range. I don't like it. :o


    Our supper was amazing.

    I was less hungry than I thought. I think I can just feel everything in a way I haven't in years, About a quarter way through I filled up so left the table because it was SO good it was hard to sit and look at an almost full bowl and I was picking. :o:o.

    DH made croccantella too. Its been a beautiful supper here, beautiful. Really chuffed with it. The tart looks gorgeous too. But, no way for me.

    Tomorrow's semifredo in the freezer also looks ok. Bit rushed, but had fun anyway

    I think that's the best thing about big vegetable meals. You can fill up properly, without the massive bloated sensation afterwards.

    Moving day will be relaxed by takeaway pizza that evening.
    After that, a week of good nutritious healthy food to aid the exertion.

    I think I'll be having that risotto again sometime next week. So good, so good.


    And fennel, loads of RAW fennel. :) and crudite and I think I am going to do what I used to do and make gazpacho . :j:j:j

    I feel so GOOD.

    I'm so excited. :).

    ( I asked DH if perhaps we should tell all the drs I think I'm going to be ok now and thanks very much but no thanks but he thinks I should still have the scans at least. I think he thinks I am trying to get out of the MRI. :rotfl:. Yesterday was weird, and today is so good.)

    s'OK. Googled!

    croccantella

    semifredo

    First one's a crispy sort of bread, bread/cracker thing
    Second's ice-cream/cream mixed up, like a mousse, and frozen.

    On the ball here :)

    Just nuking some spuds, which I'll mix with cheddar .... but I've scalded my left palm trying to get the steamer out of the nuker :( so that hurts, a LOT.
