    Two squares of Lidl's finest black last night :) I manage to resist it most days though. I'd be as fat as a barrel otherwise :eek:

    Found a fabulous recipe for cornbread on a Lammas recipe site. Going to make that on Saturday! Have you ever made cornbread?

    No - but have often wanted to :p
    I can't see any corn meal where I shop
    Have looked out for it online too - but not found it yet

    bet it will be yummilicious :p

    [ Good to see you back Twassy :) ! ]

    Soul food must be amazing [ I think a woman called Mama Cherry ? was on a Ramsay show years ago - I think she began - in her small cafe in Brighton at the time - she was basically doing most of the cooking and greeting guest by herself ]
    Those shows in America = Such as You Got to eat here = are just a :p Total Droolfest :p

    I would love to go to many different restaurants with the foods from many different countries to sample their fabulous foods
    I do love Lebanese cuisine and would love to try many others
    [ I had 2 b'f's in Sydney - who were both originally from Beirut ]

    Do you like to experience many different foods ?

    Yes, I will try pretty much anything! Some shops call cornmeal polenta, so long as the ingredients say corn it's fine to use. [Italians make polenta from other grains too].

    Do you change recipies if you don't have the right ingredients in?

    yes I would

    [ I have already got an new pack of Polenta in my cupboard :) ]

    I don't often make meals using a recipe [ I would if need be -
    but I enjoy looking up recipes now and again - for various things ]

    One of the last things was that Injera [ An Ethiopian / Eritrean bread - A pancake crumpet spongey looking bread using a sourdough starter and Teff flour [ have a few packs of Teff flour in my cupboard too - along with stacks of things !!!! ]
    There was a cafe in Liverpool - called The Selam Cafe - it is still listed there on the internet / but it had closed down before I even knew about injera

    Yesterday in the international section @Asda I saw that they were selling those [ H&B ] Purpley packs of Slim Noodle spaghetti and Rice
    ALL 25 packs were reduced to £1-24

    I would have bought them If they were a really good bargain - but I couldn't clearly recall the RRP price
    I think they were £1 cheaper than H&B's non sale items

    I have lots here already - from 2 online shopping orders from H&B
    [EDIT - Right now they are in the penny sale - basically H&B are selling
    the Slim pasta / Spaghetti/ & Rice @£1-25 ]
    - [ £12-50 for 10 ]

    Did you ever find these *Eat Water* packs - in the 1d sale and did you try any of them ??

    Not had any recently, but yes I have tried most of the Eat Water varieties, the noodles and spaghetti are by far the best IMHO :)

    Are fat white Udon noodles the best for noodle bowls?

    I would say yes

    Those 3 are my faves too Twassy

    Night time is when I tend to have !!!! no :o stop !!!! button
    Do you have many days/ or nights when you eat - far more than you should ?
    - but even though you know it is unwise - you just can't stop yourself !!!!

    Almost every day :(:cry:

    I think my wife is a feeder ;):D

    Do you enjoy cooking for others??

    haha ^^ Nate [ re the feeder comment :D ]

    Yes - I did enjoy cooking for friends In the past
    - but in recent years I have only cooked - once in a while - for my Sis

    I get weighed almost every morning
    Do you use the weight scales daily / more than once a week / or less often ??

    Almost never these days, I only use them when on a diet, and since that got abandoned I've not been near the things!! The mirror tells me I'm a porker. Oh well :D

    I love to cook for other peeps. I have a friend and fellow DSer coming for some dinner tomorrow evening and as I am also a feeder, there will be far too much for two peeps to eat.......

    The plum orchards locally are ripe and being picked.....is it OK to go and help yourself to a few fallen ones or is that stealing?

    It is good to collect just as many as you need ;-)
    so long as the growers are not watching and don't mind that sort of modest collectage

    Did you see the sad news this afternoon that Stuart Baggs has died.?
    :( x RIP x
    He had only just turned 27 years old - the day before

    He was the best and most memorable from the 2010 series of The Apprentice.
    His " I'm a whole field of ponies" line was one of my faves ever
    and I am a big fish in a small pond

    I'm sorry Choccy, I don't watch the Apprentice cos I think Alan Sugar is a big bag of wind......but I'm sorry to hear of someone so young passing away before they've had their life :(

    Would you like to live to be really old, so long as you had your faculties and could get about?

    Yes hopefully so! My mum was OK until about 80 years of age, after that dementia set in and she began to fail. I would settle for 80 good years though!

    Do you do brain training things like Sudoku to keep your wits sharp? Or are they sharp enough without :p

    If it involves not getting on the internet, yes :eek:

    Would two dark choccy digestive biskwits sandwiched with peanut butter cheer you up? Just scoffed one....scrumptious! :cool:

    No, 'cos I hate peanut butter. (I will take the biccies, though.)

    If money was no object, where would you like to go most on holiday?

    Growing up my Da would crush Jacobs crackers or Ritz over the chilli!! Gorgeous!! :)

    Adding sour cream is nice but so is eating chilli out of a baked potato. ;)

    Have you tried all of these?? Have you tried a chilli dog?? :o

    I've never crumbled Ritz or cream crackers over chilli, only tortilla chips. Had chilli in a spud, but never had a chilli dog. Is that just a hot dog with chilli on top?
