Good point

If I got this for my Birthday, I would be so upset! Why not reward yourself a treat on your special day - it would be so enjoyable, and you can burn it off with over the following days .. :)

This looks easy and fun to make with my kids - gonna try this tomoz. Thanks for posting And by the way - congrats on reaching your goal :)

I love chutney & have quite allot of tomatoes coming ripe too - so I have to try this. Do you think I could get away with using quite allot less sugar and allot more apples? Whether the apples natural sugars will have the same preserving effect as the ingredients sugar I am not sure. I just have lots apples - so if can…

So many great ideas now to try out! Here is an update on the Chicken & Apple Hotpot - sorry for the delay.. I found that I did not need as much stock as I imagined - as quite allot of juice appeared from the apples. I had to cook a while longer to reduce off some of the juice - concentrating the flavors though .. I added a…

Ok here goes - cooking LIVE! I made a "Chicken Apple Hot Pot" - based on your ideas Here it is before it goes in the oven! What I did: Stripped a raw chicken of as much meat as I could - chopped it up into chunks. (I get 3 chickens for a tenner in Tesco) 10 x cooking apples, cored and sliced - various shapes & sizes- but…

I have a small chicken for tonight - to either roast whole or I could split and bake surrounded with apple slices - wont the apple burn though, do I need to add water ?

I can make soup - so this I have to try - I hadn't thought of using them in savory dishes.

Thanks so much for all these great ideas! I am going to work my way through them one by one ! :) :)

Ooo .. do they un-thaw ok? or should I cook then freeze?

Mmmmm, I think I will try your sweet potato and paprika ideas ! :)

I would put some pics up - friendly face and that helps people to connect I think ..

Hello, I have been been active here for a month or so and found some friends now - which I will introduce you to .. I havn't many but they are all great with positive attitude - and quite funny too ! I just thought I would look at the into forum as I remember until I found some friends here it was all sooo much harder! I…

One thing that caught my eye! Oh wow now that is dedication! Praise you, well done.

Yep - hot hot - to crisp up the chippies - but be careful not to leave in too long .. or they will be like twigs ;)

Thanks for the comments. I would watch out with this though - as the intention of the recipe was to completely avoid the highly calorific oil...

Here is the sunflower spray I find in the UK - http://frylight.co.uk/indexfl.html

I don't think it matters what you have to swap - there are many small apartment lifestyles here - and I am sure they would like to swap to something similar. It is the culture swap that would be so appealing - well it is to me anyway - cause my head is full of american TV show I watched as a kid - and I am still…

I wonder what the websites actually do for you apart form advertise your interest - I would have though that could be done via forums. I have been thinking about the trust thing - I think it can work because if you are swapping then the person/family you are swapping with are trusting you too - so I guess you establish…

Thanks for the reply. Mountains - oh now your on my subject! On holiday (just a few days back) we went to climb a mountain called Blencathra - via Sharp Edge. Here's a pic http://www.summiteer.co.uk/August%2010/Northern%20Edge/Sharp%20Edge.jpg We first attempted the route via Sharp Edge (the knife edge ridge you see in the…

Short term memory loss? Perhaps stress related? I can do this to some extent with cups of coffee now and then. Usually if I am preoccupied or over worked.

CURRIED TUNA Ingredients: Tuna Finely chopped onion - optional Generous amount of Curry powder - Madras is my favorite, this comes in a tin in the UK Fresh Coriander leaves Vary quantities as you fancy. If tinned tuna - keep some of the brine or oil to one side and add after mixing the above to give some moisture. Should…

I don't know about anyone else - but thoughtful words like that I find both reassuring are incredibly motivating. Thanks

Agreed - for me it all started from 'If only I were ..' It seemed unreachable at Christmas - stopping smoking first - now this lot .. its is actually looking like for once a dream just might come true .. I hope it does for you fine folk too.

Yorkshire laddy - well Leeds actually :)
