sweet potato chips.. do I spray with oil and oven them or fry them??
My life is full of quandaries!
oh.. it's to go with beef stew.. I might just dice them and chuck them in.. that seems like an ok idea.. do we agree???
the 1lb of red cabbage can go on the side and I may get the children making bread rolls to dip .. IF.. I have any yeast. I'm so going to be flinging my kitchen out tomorrow.. if it is nice. I have Tiddles friend over tomorrow if she is still coming and I was supposed to be taking Squeak to cinema for the first time.. thought she might like Cinderella with the Frozen bit at the beginning. My niece and sister were going too but they have cancelled on us so I shall take her on Friday, or Monday and I may take Moomin and Tiddles too.

Frizzle yes due my 3-yearly poke around in a couple of months. Tried to explain the process to OH and of course he covered his ears and went "Lalalaa!!!" so he couldnt hear, lol! Only my second one but still not looking forward to it
Pigpen good look and fingers crossed for the piglets interview. Posi vibes:)

No, she has another year after she started entirely new courses this academic year.. and she is after changing again.. she is a pest! it is a summer job which will gain her experience and better her chances of something less stigmatising than Primark.. her choice of words! Noone seems to want to employ anyone with no experience so no one can get any because they aren't given a chance.. it is insane.. surely taking on someone with no experience means you can shape them to be what you want them to be rather than trying to change their already instilled bad habits!
Dinner in SC.
