Good Book Recommendations
monkey13monkey13
Soozy Woo The one book that I bang on and on about on any book thread is 'The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya sisterhood' a simply brilliant read (for women) I don't really think it's a mans cup of tea but i'd be interested to know if any men on here have read it. I really cannot recommend highly enough. My all time fave is 'A Star called Henry' by Roddy Doyle although I do appreciate that he is an acquired taste. [ more ]
Demantoid Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. I read it while I was on holiday, and it's stupendous - totally deserved to win the Booker. Also, The Year Of The Flood by Margaret Atwood. [ more ]
Former Member I'll look that one out thanks Soozy. We seem to have similar taste in books so I bet I'll enjoy it [ more ]

What becomes of the Left-overs?
Crispy ChristmasCrispy Christmas
Former Member Cooked sprouts. mashed potatoes and some bacon made into cakes, using an egg and some flour to bind, then fry to seal for a couple of minutes, then the oven for about 20 , are lovely. You can add some grated cheese on top too . Made myself hungry now [ more ]
Former Member I froze the left over 3 layer nut roast we had in two lots so that will do us for some future dinners. I made spicy bubble and squeak stars with the left over sprouts and froze them too, all the kids love them when they are at mine and need lunch. My Mum was the best ever with left overs. We would always have something for dinner on Mondays made with the left over Sunday roast - course I wasn't vegan in those days! [ more ]
Soozy Woo Actually I wont be doing that! it boiled dry overnight I'm still learning with my slow cooker - only now do I remember reading that it shouldn't be used with cooked meat . There was a recipe on the net for making stock with the carcass though which i FOLLOWED 'c'est la vie'. [ more ]

New Year's Eve plans?
Karma_Karma_
Former Member Can't think of anything much worse than being out and about and pushed and shoved amidst hoards of N Year's Eve drunken revellers, (must be my age, used to love it !!!) Soooo, I'm deliberating between invites to a dinner party locally and a cottage on Keilder Water or staying home with some nice food and a bottle of bubbles...think it's about time I started making my mind up!

Karma_ My New Year's Eve tip for a London resident: Don't hit anyone. Especially not a tourist. If they annoy you, just direct them the wrong way instead. I thank you. [ more ]

Im child free and got a stone to boogie off. [ more ]

Mc Dermott wont watch Enders baby plot
FM Former Member
SazBomb Reference: I think this is terrible writing from EastEnders, not due to the storyline but due to the character involved. Me too... chrissakes give Ronnie a break! [ more ]
Karma_ Meat n Veg I agree to an extent, I can't stand twee unrealistic shite either. But sometimes it's nice to see something good happen for a change. Ronnie's character seems to be on this constant rollercoaster of doom and it's just getting predictable and boring, I don't know if I will watch the cot death storyline tbh. [ more ]
Garage Joe We don't watch it since it says nothing to us about our lives but we caught the last few minutes before another prog last night. Didn't know who half of 'em were ! Corrie or Roots, as we call it, is better written and has lots of in jokes, tips of the hat to VIZ, and various hidden lyrics. [ more ]

TV last night - Strictly
brisketbrisket
Kaffs Oh and I agree with all the comments about Ronnie - I've never taken to her and her performance here didn't help. Strange, unfunny woman. [ more ]
Kaffs I just watched today - I loved John's dance... I enjoyed it all (I like Only Men Aloud too - loved the show they won) HOWEVER... my V+ box cut off before the finale! It's not on iplayer via Virgin (I hope it will be soon..) and the quality online is kinda rubbish so I've still hoping to see it properly at some stage. [ more ]

Garage Joe We had a lovely country walk out in the snow. A gift for tracking experts. I'll probably go for fish and chips just as soon as we finish watching Brief Encounter. It really is a classic, although one can't help but imagine everything smelling of steam trains, tobacco fumes, and stale piss. [ more ]

Former Member Hi Comrade. Christmas can be the best time in the world but you are right, it can be the loneliest as well.What to do? There is no quick and easy answer. I think the run up is probably worse than the actual day - the TV and shops are full of the "ideal" happy family and friends stuff. If it helps ( and I doubt that it will) Christmas, on the whole is fake. It is a time when people forget their problems, eat too much, drink too much, get into debt over buying presents that are out of their... [ more ]
