    ........and they definitely solve the hanging on leftovers issue or least mine does:D Nelski my pooch will quite happily scoff your spag bol so lob it this way - one of his favourites though the garlic breath afterwards can be a tad overwhelming.........:rotfl:

    Still worth paying for someone to do the DIY stuff in the long run lol..............:rotfl:

    How true is that :T:T

    Had my pasta bolo early as Im off to work for a couple of hours. So glad thats done for a while now one more bag in the freezer but I wont be rushing to eat that:)

    Whats everyones views (if you have any that is ) on beef curry? I have some folks coming for food on Weds and I have a big pack of stewing steak in the freezer which I wouldn' t mind using up ...thinking of all the space it would leave :rotfl: anyway I thought beef in red wine first but it didnt seem the thing to have for a girly supper so then it became curry but not made many (or any) beef curries so don't know if its a good plan. I do have some chicken too so could do chicken curry but would prefer to use up the steak:)
    Sorry for the waffle lol

    I like beef in either a massaman or rogan josh curry think it takes the flavours really well. I'd use up the stewing steak just don't make so much that you fill the space with LOs:)

    I've bought beef so rarely I can't comment. I've also never entertained anybody in my home ...ever....

    I fancy something sweet, but have nothing much ... just the usual drinking chocolate/marshmallows, or another crumpet/choc spread. Don't fancy those though.

    Could have creamed rice, and/or custard....but there's a little voice in my head that keeps squeaking "...go on ...make a little cake ... you know you want to."
