I think this might just be the next soup I make Leek and potato soup with ginger

MTSTM - you might want to have look through the website I got the above from http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/index.php, it's got lots of recipes I think would appeal to you (and lots that wouldn't;))

My mother tired of the situation and once she stated ''that's enough'', my father decided to quit . Boy was I glad, and my brother too. Hated having to move schools and the process of ''making new friends''. It wasn't so bad for my brother as he was more outgoing - I was the shy one

Just enjoyed a couple of fruit scones from the bakery - really nice.

Yep...that was it in my parents house. I was the shy one and my brother was the one that teachers described as "I've never known someone with so many friends":rotfl:. My father went on to become a teacher - and thoroughly scathing of previous schools I'd been sent to LOL....

Thanks caron for that website - I'll have a good look at it and I've put myself down as a Facebook follower of it. You musta had a good idea that I was watching some Facebook videos of dancing this afternoon - some Jewish, some Indian. I do like Indian dance....and duly compiling a Pinterest board on Bollywood dancing now:)

Caronc ,I'm making leek and potato soup tomorrow, and that sounds yummy, but realised I gave dd2 my ginger root on Sunday as her partners daughter was feeling sick. I have to say unless I can't see it there seems to be a lack of potatoes in that recipe!!

I had a tin of tomato soup and a packet of smoky bacon crisp, with a black cherry corner yogurt with seeds in, for lunch at work.
For tea I had gfree breaded haddock with oven chips and tinned mushy peas. I will have to decide what to have the other half of the peas with:o
Another blueberry muffin and extra thick cream, think I'm becoming addicted!!

:eek::eek::eek:so there is, so much for my observation skills . I'll contact her via FB;)

I have to say I've made loads of recipes from this site and never came across a mistake before....

Since I last looked out we've had quite a lot of snow, a good inch plus is lying. It's been a good while since we've had so much here. So very beautiful to look at but I'm glad I don't have to venture out in it;):). I think my heating may well be on low overnight, a first for a few years but I don't want to risk burst pipes!

I went out, was fed, came home.
Car metal was icy, but not the windscreen, but it's bright/cold out there...

I left the heating on low while gone, so I didn't come back to a thoroughly cold house, which I'm glad I did. I'd not usually waste heating by having it on when I'm not in!

treacherous out there, very cold ground and ice under grainy snow. I am not venturing out until this is over, freezer is choca with boxes of water taking up any available spaces, helps in a power cut. I`m also putting some fridge stuff in the porch so I can get to it if power is cut

Today I am eating hot food, started with porridge and chopped apricots. Lunch hm pizza as I have sweet red pepper. High tea a cooked rm and some pointy cabbage and caulie. It is hard finding stuff in the freezer, it really is rammed, deliberately. I will probably shuffle 2 drawers, putting frozen water in a high box, one at a time. Freezer packs in the top shallow drawer and butter will go in the bottom one, to join milk. If a power cut, then door will remain tight shut and cold will filter down from the freezer packs and ice in boxes. This way freezer will be good for 24 hours

Then just stick it all in a box/bin bag in the garden

:rotfl:at the thought "Well it works to some extent only as far north as Birmingham of a winter" - as I had a live-in job briefly many years ago there and remember sticking bottles of milk and other fridge stuff on the outer windowsill of my room.

Seemed to work perfectly okay at fridge level. So guessing one of those insulated box thingies with the type of green "box type bits (technical name:rotfl:)" that came with my latest freezer would help??

I have to be in/out a lot today.... else I'd not leave the house.
But I have a commitment which cannot be delayed or altered at all.

I'll have a hearty hot breakfast in a bit, beans/scrambled eggs on a toasted bread roll... set me up.
