yes have done mine and they have beenmunched upon. So remaking them all again.

Recipe - n its really simple to make I've pefected it down to easy and less hassle. So recipes you can have the items itself, it'll never get out of the kitchen let alone make it to the outside world.

I'm just off to make some lobby.....

Everything in a pot, salt, tatoes, leeks, carrots, onions, peas, sweetcorn ( can add cauli florets, turnip, stewing beef, whatever)

Chop it, fill to the top with water, boil till soft, stir in gravy and your good to go..

Liverpool Scouse is similar, as is Irish Stew and Lancashire hotpot i spose, that sorta thing..most regions have one of their own..

Yep, got a Dorset version of that as well, and i do a 'im indoors version too. Mine has chicken in it, occasionally it goes inthe oven when i am doing cobbler topping.

For dinner, had a proper Coq au Vin, Not out of a packet job. Totally converted to proper version now. Easy to do as well. Needed a tad less salt, me think I got a tad overly liberal with the salt.

Dunno but I'm getting bloody hungry...!

Need inspiration....

You were late, Dinner was at 6pm.




Dinner tonight was simple jacket tatty with cheese. Didn't feel like cooking, having cooked many cakes and biccy's for the dogs earlier. My kitchen was guarded while the dog cookies were in the oven. In the event of a burgulary the oven was completely secure, the rest of the house not so.

Could have walked in and then out with your compie
