    Also, I got the free frappe from Nero on the O2 app today, and have to say the MaccyD ones are much nicer!

    The Nero one was very strong coffee flavour, and didn't taste anywhere near as creamy as the McD one!

    Def wouldn't pay £3.60 for it!

    Afternoon paw sniffers:)

    Tonight I will be mainly grilling aubergines:D

    QoC that pineapple chutney looks gorgeous but no recipe for me:o

    Can you try and post again:T

    Machine........mildew..........DS:rotfl:

    I just put it in the jar and it smells absolutely divine :D

    Pineapple Chutney

    Makes 3-4 jars

    Ingredients:

    2 pineapples, peeled and diced with core (around 1kg)
    2 red onions, roughly chopped
    2 tbsp olive oil
    200ml cider vinegar
    275g light brown sugar
    3 cloves
    4 cardamom pods, bashed
    1 tsp coriander seeds
    5 peppercorns
    1 tsp turmeric
    1 tsp chilli flakes
    1 tsp salt
    Method:

    Heat the olive oil in a large thick-based saucepan and cook the onions until translucent. Add the spices and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
    Tip in all of the remaining ingredients and simmer for an hour or until thick and dark. Meanwhile, sterilise three jars by filling them with boiling water and drying them in the oven.
    Tip the chutney into the jars and seal immediately. Leave for at least a week to mature.

    I didn't have coriander or cardamom so I used star anise instead and just took it our before I put it in the jar. I like my chilli too so I added a bit more than it said

    Hello Every one :)


    I am quite new to this forum and I am struggling to keep up to date, I try and read (backwards) what has been happening but difficult in between full time job and 3 kids. I just wanted to say thank you first for the morries v&f offer I managed to get ten suns with a womble I had found the night before at sadas then £50 worth of f&V for two very needy households. (My and my skint sisters)


    we work for her business and have had to increase our hours and reduce our wages to just £200pm :eek: until business doing better.


    so hence why I ended up on here.. its been a life saver!! :')


    I have done the reeds and bacon as well so thanks op for that.


    I am just about to a v s shop with reeds again. anyone got any suggestions of things to add?


    also can I ask please what else is glitching, I got the gist that impulse, a different bacon, some beef and toberlone might be?


    if someone whouldn't mind updating it would be greatly appreciated.
    :A

    Good evening:D.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C8bvYlqy9A

    A track (and video for the same track funnily enough!:rotfl:) from the 1990s. I like the 1990s. I don't really like Absolute Radio 90s though, which plays the 90s but "none of the duds" (http://absoluteradio90s.co.uk/). In fact I don't really like any radio station at all. Obviously one of Absolute 90s' "duds". I like the duds.

    Quite why I'm linking to the station's website, and thus promoting it, I'm not sure. As for Primal Scream and the Chemical Brothers, they're hardly classics from the 90s are they? Classic hit Ice MC instead for me.

    "Our playlist will entirely consist of undisputed classics from the 1990s, stretching from Oasis and Blur, to Primal Scream and the Chemical Brothers."

    So it isn't "undisputed" now then:D:rotfl:. (Why not just abolish the playlists? I think.) Wow - Oasis and Blur! Didn't they cover about 2 or 3 years from the whole decade of the 90s?

    All this talk on here has got me my jam mojo back again. Just whizzed out on my pushbike and picked some cherries and yellow plums from the trees around where I live. Cherry and lime jam on the go. Thanks guys :)
