They will be fine at Durham fuzzy but a long way to come ....today they were out of most of the crisps and I would hate you to waste a journey

Thanks TM but like you say bit far for me.

I tried booking a slot for a dummy c&c at st0ckton, and it’s saying plain/C&O/variety are ‘not available’. S&V don’t show this nor do bbq!

I don’t know if this is a good way of seeing what’s in stock at a store?

I probably would not even daredo three. I need to go tomorrow for the icing, as it runs out tomorrow, but might have to plan another visit on Wednesday for wine and more crisps (as they run out on Wednesday) but then again, I dont really need much wine at the moment.

This is not too spicy Arthien

5-6 large chicken legs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup honey
3 tbsp soy sauce
Fine,y chopped onion
Seasoning

Step 1: Place chicken legs in slow cooker.
Step 2: Mix all other ingredients in small bowl.
Step 3: Pour mixture over chicken legs.
Step 4: Cook on high 4 hours/low 6-8 hours or until chicken is cooked through.

I see a flaw in those instructions as they are incomplete:rotfl::rotfl:.

Step 1: Wake up, have a shower, dry yourself, put your clothes on, find your car keys, go out, get into your car, drive to the supermarket (puts numerous points about driving, directions, turns in road, signalling, stopping for traffic lights etc.), find chicken legs in supermarket, pick them up, take them to the till/SS, buy them, bring them back home, then...
Place chicken legs in slow cooker.

Etc:rotfl:.

It's no good - it doesn't tell us to take chicken legs out of the packet:rotfl: - how am I to know that?:huh:
Fortunately me and almost all of us know to do these things. The other things I've mentioned don't need stating. Nonetheless, it can be a bit like this with breaking tasks down sometimes. Everything, even the obvious, needs to be stated. For it may be obvious to you, or to people who've done the same cooking process many times, but not obvious to me. It's when something that needs doing is something which is unfamiliar, then problems arise. It's because people miss things out and don't say everything that needs doing. I'm alright with knowing how to obtain chicken legs however. But some other things, such as knowing how to repair my boiler if it were to break down, even if I've done a quick repair in the past, I need to relearn from scratch if it ever happens again (touch wood it won't) as, after ages of non-practice - due to boilers thankfully working right for such long periods - it becomes something unfamiliar. Clarification: I have no boiler that has broken on me recently. This is just a hypothetical example.

I'm not being difficult, honest:rotfl:. I just don't know what to do, as you haven't expressly told me. Then again, it's not just me - sometimes things are obvious to me but, to other people, they are not or they are things that didn't occur to them. Then I usually won't know the 'right' way to tell you:rotfl:.

Oh badger, cheers Anon. No, had it for years, but have not really looked at it in ages, not since we had the free 'mikano' chocolate stick things on there.
