We're having roast brisket, roast pots, r/parsnip, r/carrots, leeks and peas :-D...ooops and yorkshires :-D

jude ;-)

what time you serving up? :-D

About 5.30pm or there abouts, why you coming?? :-D

you'd have a fit if I turned up!!!

good night Jude, were having roast chicken, my fav :-D

I think I will have to do a stew, as I haven't got my main oven fixed yet.

But I will be having dumplings with it.

There may may room in the little (not very good ), oven for some roast potatoes. (some cheating ones from the supermarket) So I will still have a good meal.

Morning:)

The brisket is in, will add some water in a mo along with an onion :-D

TABTF.....your stew sounds lovely....nothing wrong with cheating on the spuds, just love dumplings.

l'll have to make extra spuds here as AnnCardiff might join us, hope she likes parsnips, the DIY neighbour will be here too, bless him, he's a gooden, he does bits of electrical jobs and puter stuff, brilliant on advice re electricals etc andoften won't take cash payments, says "another dinner will be great" :-D

Stray...enjoy your chicken, we had that last week, sister does'nt eat red meats, and she was here last week, so we goes mad when she's not :-D

We are having chicken, although not until this evening. :-) I think I can smell your brisket Jude! Or maybe it is our neighbours, it smells good anyway so shall have to go and get some lunch.

Jude, your DIY neighbour sounds lovely. What a great arrangement. Hope you and he enjoyed dinner. Did Ann in Cardiff turn up?

I didn't eat the stew. Have (more or less ) cooked it, except for adding the dumplings and doing the roast spuds.

Son is working all day, and will be doing a sleep-in tonight. SO will warm it up, add dumplings tomorrow, so we can both have some.

Did my self a rice dish with sardines, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, baby peas, garlic sweet corn , chillies, etc.
Quite tasty, and a bit of a treat.

Ann hope that you enjoy your chicken
I too love brisket, trouble is, I eat too much of it.

Evening :-)

The brisket was gorgeous, melted in the mouth :-D

Silly neighbour forgot to come round, he did'nt realise it was deffinate, he came in this morning to use the printer and had a nice surprise....took it home with gravy jug right chuffed :-D

We are lucky with a few neighbours, we all help each other out :-D

Ress...did you enjoy your stew this evening then?? Not sure l like the idea of sardines with rice, but then l've never tried it!

AnnCardif....where were you then, l did extra veg, but me sister turned up and ate them :-D :-D :-P

Nite nite

Sorry have been distracted. Rice dish and stew were ok but could have been (a lot) better.

Am having rather a dismal week in the kitchen, I think it must be C--K-up Cooking Week in my house.

1) Left oven on when I thought that I had turned it off. (Lamb chops very nearly cooked to perfection, so turned off oven, and left them in it for a little while to finish off, while I did something else. Got distracted, so left them longer than I intended. Smell of charred meat alerted me... oven still on and meat was horrible.


"2) Measured out rice and water in saucepan, ready to cook later.Only to find later that I had turned ring on under the saucepan, result....some not very nice rice.

3) Left saucepan to side (but still on cooker) when I went to eat dinner, after dishing up.
Had left ring on, so one saucepan with rather hot handle

These are just a few examples of my time in the kitchen over the last few days.
Think that I will have to have take-aways or ready meals till I get my brain back!

Hope that everyone elses efforts have been more successful.

Hope that Jude is taking full advantage of being a gran.
The baby on her Avtar looks gorgous!

judeeeeeeeeeee come and say hello, i know your holding the baby but come and say hello. hello `` jude x

Jude has deleted herself from the site.

shame as she will be missed x

Sadly she has done this before, she can't cope with it when there are problems on the boards, she deleted herself Thursday evening I think.

she posted yesterday ann i am sure i seen it

Ann i spoke with her yesterday, she is thinking about things atm, and i hope ive talked her into reconsidering, but she is also busy too xx

Ann

Jude did post yesterday morning on the bite your tongue thread, as I repiled to her. Its a shame when you feel you have to delete yourself because of other peoples silly nonsense, childish behaviour and tantrums and you find yourself drawn in or in the middle of it, but with a new granddaughter to dote and fuss over I am sure she has more important matters to think about then a petty drama on GR...I wish her the best of luck and hope to see back in the future. :-D
