    Huge congratulations tattycath! :T :T Any idea on how long to complete now?

    Chicken and ham cottage pie sounds lovely, what 'sauce' did you use? I'm looking for new recipe inspiration as I'm totally bored with what we eat at the moment.

    Thanks jwil!
    Completion is end of next week. :j
    Chicken and ham cottage pie: for the sauce I made some stock and added milk, Brie, all sorts really, I make my own sauces. :)
