    Martyn - you've set me off again with your lovely post. I hope you enjoyed your soup. Chicken soup is so good for the soul, I always think.

    SMOKY - thinking of you all.

    Hello everyone,

    Busy weekend here and when I did get online to post I was having trouble connecting into the internet. Fingers crossed my modem will come before Easter.

    Have to get into the kitchen in a min to make a batch of small cakes and ice them for DGS. Play-group is having a little party for him as it's his birthday on Saturday. Ninny's providing the cakes. :D It's nearly 8am now so must dash.

    Smoky My thought's and prayers go to you. I hope Eric has a comfortable night. <hugs> to you & the children.

    Hope everyone else has a good sleep. Catch you later. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    What did you eventually put in the soup then?

    Last night, the wrong side of midnight :eek: , I put the chicken carcass in the sc with some old potatoes, even older carrots and a couple of chopped onions. Covered it with water and didn't sleep a wink all night for worrying :rolleyes: Left it on low until 12.45 this dinnertime when I drained the liquid off and skimmed the fat off. The liquid went back in the sc with some slighly newer tatties, carrots, onions, some chopped up green stuff out of a jar :confused: , a couple of baillifs and some salt and pepper. I "nearly" put a chopped up yellow pepper thing in it but I tried a piece first and it was so nice that I, err, ate it all :o Left it on low all afternoon until 7.30-ish when I scoffed the lot with some part-charred bread :rolleyes:

    I'm almost looking forward to going shopping on Tuesday so that I can get some more stuff to [strike]exterminate[/strike] experiment with :D

    Hi folks,

    Smoky...have sent you a pm...love and prayers

    Lazy day to-day but managed to cook dinner, shop for yet more food, finish the back door curtain ( on that pole Mioliere!) and got two café curtains for windows from remainder of material....so feeling proud of myself, very nearly had a conniption trying to use the thingy I bought in Lidl a couple of weeks ago which does eyelets but got there in the end bullied or encouraged by DD4.

    Night all
