HEllloooooooooooooo again

I had a late-afternoon spurt of energy

I've baked banana bran muffins, deboned two roast chickens, turned the fleshy bits into chicken mayo for sandwiches, turned the carcasses into stock, oven roast some butternuts for soup, prepared the dry ingredients for my lunchbox, eaten some vanilla ice cream from the tub, prepared the spices for curried meatballs later in the week and made the cubs their iced tea to take to school. Phew...

Sounds like you had a good enough time, JC

Hey, BB

When I have the time, I like to make my own masalas with fresh whole spices. I toast it first in a little pan, and then grind it in a little coffee bean grinder I keep for the purpose. Red chillies, stick cinnamon, cumin, corinader, cardamom, cloves, allspice...

Evening All,

Whats been happening?

Tipps, just been looking at your pics on FB...I cannot believe Cubette is only 11!! Adam will be 11 at Christmas and he would only be up to her elbow I reckon! Actually she is prob bigger than me (which wouldn't be hard). Fab pics.

Quick question, does ALLONE make anyone else feel a bit sick?

Hi Oney,
Never taken ALLONE, sounds horrible

To be honest there's a very large paper clip, a broken necklace and a pencil sharpener in bowl bit. Trouble is because it's made of marble I don't know how to clean it.
