    Haribo can i ask a really stoopid question? what are fifteens please?

    Have decided on chicken fried rice for tea.... pizza was a great idea until i realised I had no cheese in the house and no pennies until tomorrow to buy any with!!


    Mix together 15 chopped marshmallows, 15 chopped glace cherries, 15 crushed digestives with one can of condensed milk. Roll in desicated coconut and make into a sausage shape. Wrap in foil and chill until firm. Then slice into 1 inch thick pieces. ;) They look like this. :D

    Can you guess why they call them Fifteens? :p

    Ooh Haribo I can see they are very diet friendly. How many pieces must I need to eat to count as my 1 of my 5 a day? I'd have to eat the whole lot just to make sure tho!! yum yum yum. Will be adding digestive bix and coconut to my next shopping list.
    Banana Lovers
    Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

    I'm sure the cherries and coconut count as part of your five a day. :D


    PenPen... Sorry work was bad. You'll have to get yourself fired if you want to leave. ;):kiss:

    Just back from Tesco. The food prices are so depressing. icon9.gif The big bags of pasta which were £1 last year, then went up to £2.45 are now £2.87. :eek: And 78p for a flipping pepper.

    OH and I have started half heartedly comping. :o It's only been a week but he's already won a £300 mobile phone. :j So I'm off to try and beat him. :D

    Don't beat him with a mobile, keep that for yourself and beat him with a rolled up newspaper ;)

    Jayward - hugs for you - hope you get the meds sorted
