    I was logging in to tell you about my dinner and I see you've beat me to it :p

    I know you like eggs omelette-d and I think I'm right in remembering that you don't like baked eggs but I wasn't sure where you stood on hard boiled eggs in a curry!

    When Mr MWC announced that he was cooking egg curry, the thought didn't fill me with joy... however, it was delish :D

    Yes, but I reckon you stand a good chance - although I think that the Welsh team will be pushing you harder than England for the top honours. I suspect France will play an awesome match today.

    I'm going with a veggie version of Carbonnade de Flamande fer us tea anyroad....... for the efficacy of the prunes, natch ;)

    Sorry hun! Usually it has a great big wodge of *boeuf* stuck in it, but our veggie version relies on mushrooms - thank goodness for the mrM offer last week......... :D Used a beer from b&M, that was a 'mocha' beer - worked really well, and only cost 79p, so a relatively frugal dish :money::D
