I retired all my cook books to the charity shops....I use google for any recipes I require and if its something I like.....I just save it on the computer...Saves a lot of time and no shelves full of books.....:o:o

Found this for an apple pie this afternoon....Well I had to try it...Hoping it turns out okay...I must say its smelling delishous and looks good to me...:D:D



I apologize if my oven is not up to the standard of the oven inspectors!!!!.......:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl: I was thinking 'oooh that oven looks clean'. The light is busted in mine so I dread to think what state it's in

Morning :wave:

Plenty of blackberries are now out in the hedgerows near us - the bushes are evil though, you could swear they move in for the kill when you reach for their berries . Worth the effort though for the freezer .

:j:j Yes I picked loads on way home from Ts yesterday. With the apples from our trees I'm going to attempt a pie

Feeling a bit guilty as would of liked to have gone to an old Boss's funeral today but I have no way of getting there as far away
He ran our Cinema & I sold the tickets & kept feet off seats
I didn't get paid as it was a second job & tax was 25% so he gave complimentary tickets for life
We had such a laugh & when my exDH used to collect me when show was over, my dog Poppy would hoover the cinema of any dropped sweeties

RIP Mr R ♥

Morning, for all those trying to use up there runner beans, this is a lovely meal. Traditionally made in a Potjie Pot on an open fire (like a cauldron) but can also be made in a slow cooker.

Green Bean Potjie.
(this makes a lot but it is equally nice, if not better, heated up)
1kg minced beef
4 double handfuls of sliced green beans or as many as you like, the more the better!
4 chopped onions.
packet of bacon, chopped
2 handfuls of grated cheese (I don’t always bother with this)
1 cup light soy sauce (can use less)
Gravy granules
Quite a few peeled potatoes cut.
Pepper, salt isn’t needed as soy sauce is salty enough.

In a frying pan brown mince & bacon, add onions and brown. Put in slow cooker.
Place potatoes & green beans in layers on top of mince, add soy sauce, do not stir.
Switch slow cooker on to a long setting of over 6 hours.
When potatoes are done add some gravy granules mixed with ½ cup water, add grated cheese and pour into SC, cook for another hour or so. It’s difficult to judge how much bisto to use as it depends how much liquid there is in the pot but the rice soaks up any excess liquid.
Mix well before serving with rice and crusty bread.:)

Sounds good.

I think these are really good value in waities. At £1.60 a pack. They are half price and on my picks. Next cheapest store is Asda at £3
Only 54% fish. But hey ho they taste good.
