    YES! Still it's nice that you drop into this little auld lady's thread and check that I've enough coal in me scuttle for winter...... ;):p:p:p Bless you, un ifanc starnac! :rotfl:

    Cymraeg GP? A woman of many talents ;)

    However..... they are not *lumps*, I have plenty of frozen sweetcorn that I'm determined to use up. And I don't know about you, Dear Reader, but unless I am...... *mindful* about eating sweetcorn, it has a propensity to exit how it entered....... if y'all get my drift.......

    I won't share how we used sweetcorn in *this* way during the nutrition part of my degree :eek:

    Dinner looked yummy as usual Greying. I myself am fancying a curry :rotfl: Maybe I'll treat myself and DH on the weekend. Can you recommend one out of your repetoire?

    I have 3 things to say to you starnac;

    1) Naw! Goggle translate! :p:rotfl:

    2) TRANSIT TIMES! :p:rotfl:

    3) Ooooh, toughie - my favourite is usually what ever I've cooked at that moment in time. Um, I do like the more coconutty/thai curries I think on balance, but it depends. The only thing you have to do is sent DH down the chipper so that you've got half&half - muy authentico! :D If you lob some *wot you have* ingredient suggestions to us, maybe we could come up with a curry suggestion? Surely you'll want a meat one?

    Wot have you done to my diary???? :shocked: :rotfl: Speaking entirely personally beanie - since you asked...... NO. Although if I've eaten straight out the garden, corn on the cob, well, then there is a noticeable difference............

    Ho Hum :o:rotfl:

    What I actually came on to mention was that I have made the basis for our dinner tomorrow night, so that's something :D

    Right, I'm away to my bed, with my fingers lodged firmly in me ears, la la la - can't hear you...........:D:rotfl:

    Your sliders look delish - chicken and mushroom risotto in this house, freshly made despite the haul in the freezer because there were YS mushrooms to use up, bits of chicken leg and a new quantity of italian rice (thank you product trial) - and it was just what was needed, which is a bit of a shame for a July evening.
    Also having almost completed the job of doom, it was easy instruct the boys to make it from the other room - and they didn't do too bad a job though my blue stirrer looks a little scorched and lopsided from being left on the hot pan. Ah well, I can always melt it back the other way!
