We all need to be heard for a little while.

Good idea, melly! I shall do that as soon as I have scanned the whole of ebay looking for a cuddly grey alien. (I may have become slightly obsessed).

Calley, have you thought of investing in a cook's thermometer? Then if the core temperature of the cooked dish is right, you should be ok!

I did have one but never used it and gave it away.

I rarely cooked for others and if I did it was things like c0cktail sausages and sausage rolls rarely a proper meal.

And after all this time I still can't seem to get my timings right either. Something is normally over cooked LOL!!!!

When making sandwiches for others besides husband and myself. Wash my hands a million times and wear gloves.

My husband is chemically immune suppressed because he has a condition that caused the stroke. And his food hygiene is terrible. Pies that are like a week old he will eat :eek: he really does not care :rotfl::rotfl:

We love Alan
OH has been known to move him round the flat and pit hats on him to make people jump.
Alan doesn't like it though.

Mr T had a fantastic couple of hours play outside kept coming in to tell me what he was doing.

Hahahahaha! I love Alan, too!

Mr T is so attached to you, he is most definitely your cat now.

Well, I suppose if it doesn't make him ill, he can't be doing too wrongly!

In know but maybe its just a man thing he really does not care. He would happily leave food out for hours then put it the fridge. I get a bit twitchy about stuff like that.

I have never knowing caused bad stomach. just paranoid.

We had this Geisha girl vacumn cover. It was in the corner of the kitchen, and made me jump every time I went in, it was creepy, like someone was standing there! I sold it on eBay eventually!

Am in a grumpy snappy mood. Tend to get like this when I'm tired.

WaS, set a place for me too! I love lamb stew and crumble! Is it Rhubarb or apple?

I must admit, I'm a lot more careful if I'm preparing food for others than if it's just me! With me, the only things I won't compromise on are shellfish and fish, as they can go off very quickly and not noticeably. With everything else I use the look, sniff, feel test! If it passes those, I'll cook it! If it tastes ok, I'll eat it!

I pretty much eat anything as long as it passes the sniff test. When I was 18 I was living with a guy who had severe alcohol problems and all of our money went on that, he regularly took money from my bag and I was only on a college grant at the time, he had no income other than unemployment benefit. We used to eat food that was thrown in skips by supermarkets at the end of the day because we simply had no money at all. It was perfectly good food and thoroughly wrapped in plastic but near it's sell by date. After that I lost any fear of sell by dates, once you have eaten from the contents of a skip you tend to stop worrying. That was a rather bleak time in my life looking back and not the best choice in a boyfriend. It taught me how to survive on almost nothing, though which has been useful throughout the following years.

It is rhubarb crumble, Georgie! I shall try not to bake a few kitchen implements with it!
