continued pontification for September

[sfxmum]

hello bla bla bla

bluergh to pigeon, i tried to cook it once!

ta for reminder kew, i need cookie cutters!

it's even already fitted with a converter for a laptop, solar panels to boost battery and ipod connector.

It's got PADDLE written all over it!

Not sure having paddle written all over it is a good thing... perhaps you could negotiate a discount for that?

Oh and I'm not a good person to discuss this with at the moment - I'm of the "life's too short" frame of mind! Do what makes you happy!!!

musn't overcook pidgeon - it goes very leathery. Best casseroled I find.

Slng, perfect opportunity to try out the slow cooker.

Paddle it sounds fab, I say go for it, but then I am the impulsive one financially, it is dh who reins me in

going to go and see it this weekend i think.

my new mantra is "you only live to regret what you didn't do, not what you did"!!!

hell, if all else fails I can live in it LOL!

Paddle, I would also say go for it, not sure if we're really the people you should be asking!

Cov, quick cooking question for you! I want to make a batch of fishcakes later, do I freeze them before or after cooking? Or doesn't it matter?

buy buy buy

..that was for paddle..
hi everyone else
will catch up properly later

I would freeze them before because otherwise they will tend to be a bit too dry if you cook then freeze, then reheat(provided fish isn't previously frozen otherwise cook then freeze).

Paddle - If it's exactly you want, go for it. Do you have pics?

ok, thanks Cov, knew I could rely on you!

Steppy: pasta, pasta, pasta. I have a big book on microwave cooking if you want to borrow it. It's old fashioned but works well.

steppy - just had a lovely microwaved bacon sandwich.

paddle - van sounds lovely, live for today, thats what I say...

afternoon everyone else!

Slng, don't know if you know but Ealing library has reopened & apparently has a new chinese book collection

Ros - Are we allowed to join Ealing library?

I think so, I joined a few years ago with proof of ID & address. I think I might go this afternoon & see if my card is still valid as its been a while since I've got any books out from there.

Thanks Ros! I didn't know that. Walked past the other day and meant to check it out.

It's been sold

The Van Paddle Nearly Had

nope, he's sold it for 3.5k over the phone this morning.

I have had all sorts of game in the past, not wildly keen on meat but as it goes not bad
