Weekly Flylady Thread 11 March 2024
Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. What is FLYLADY?

Cooking wine or sherry recommendations requested
I want to experiment with added wine or sherry to some cooking. I don't drink so I don't have any bottles I could try. I understand that the cooking version of red wine and sherry contain preservatives so opened bottles keep longer. I wouldn't know the difference between different ones and don't know what would be a cheap…

feel we had achieved something and with spring approaching; each day will give
you some basic flying, some deep cleaning choices and some decluttering
choices. As ever feel free to pick and mix what needs doing for you according
to your ability…

standard fan oven vs microwave convection setting
A friend has been using the microwave as an oven, using a convection setting which he said is the same as a fan oven, you can put foil in as well. Can anyone here confirm that its the same? Does it cook as well? Also is it actually cheaper if you are mainly cooking small dishes?

Whole Duck
On another thread someone mentioned 2kg ducks being for sale at Lidl. I have never bought a whole duck before - only duck breast - so I’m wondering how many meals you would expect to get out of a 2kg duck? Would it be similar to the same sized chicken? And what would you use the leftovers for? I can think of duck pancakes,…
