going to see the incredibles tomorrow for my mums birthday..bit different to my original plans to take someone else for dinner n a west end show..but hey

in other newsive lost another 4lbs this week and am developing an interest in feng shui

Fen choie? is that some strange oriental noodle cooking method? Youl need to tidy up if you are to develop that one sweatie! Have fun and don't try to think of what you would* have been doing Just enjoy it Have fun

*hic*..

again? I'm starvin and the stew is just about* done

I had stew too!

*hic*

What sort of stew? Mine is home made beef stew with dumplings about a pound of onions red and white mixture, half pound carrots, four sticks celery, some mushrooms, pound stewing diced beefsteak some parsley and a couple of leeks, and a plate full of diced spuds three pints of water, couple of oxo beef stock cubes, some onion gravy/stock stuff I can't remember the name of, pinch powdered mustard, fresh black pepper, dumplings with beef suet, S.R., flour, fresh pepper, pinch salt, and some fresh parsley right, thats it! food is ready!

Oh!

Mine was a beef stew, but very ordinary compared to yours! Stewing Beef.. potatoes, mushrooms and carrots and peas.. and onions of course...

Sounds pretty simular *burp* I ate half* of it lodger can have the other half when he get sback from whereever he is well, unless I get hungry again between now and when he gets back No NO NO! I won't eat any more dumplings came out well again this time; they seem to be one of thos e things that either comes out right or doesn't ocme out right, with no obviously apparent reason as to why the difference well, I don't measure the flour or suet, maybe thats the problem I feel stuffed now feel just like going for a lay down not a good* idea I think actually really rather fancy going out for a couple of beers, if there was naywhere near here I could get to and wanted to go to

My nan used to use Birds raising powder instead of fat and suet.. and made them with marge... the used to be lovely and light and fluffy!.. Don't seem to be able to find the raising powder anymore.

Don't use any fat or anything in mine, just the self raising flour and suet, and water, and salt, and pepper, and useually some herbs if I've some kicking about I don't mind them when they are more stogy and less 'light' actually like them equally much either way they are just yummy things
