Oh yes, and parsnips! Frost on the parsnips is like some sort of alchemy....brings out all the flavour!

exactly i love a carrot parsnip and chicken casserole cooked in the slow cooker and excess liquid and veg left make a really yummy soup!!
roast parsnips are gorgeous!! i'm a big fan of root veggies i love roasted sweet potatoes...but that swede was heavenly *gets a bit dreamy at the memory*

i watched The Nice Guys last night (it was a poorly present to myself )
Really enjoyed it, made by the same production team, (writer director) as Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang.

I've not seen that, is it good? I had roasted carrots and sweet potatoes yesterday, so lush!!

I will be cheeky and ask if anyone in the thread would mind signing this petition , to save trees....very important to a friend of mine who works with trees in the area....

Well i really enjoyed it, set in the 1970s Ryan Gosling (funny) and Russell Crowe (very dead pan) it was one of those films where it builds up, there's funny stuff happening along the way but it all sort of comes together at the end. Some of the looks the actors would give were superb! Planets gives it a thumbs up!! (but then i really enjoyed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang too!)

oh i forgot to add i'll check out the linky Twass !

eta have sent it on and shared as well!

Ooh thank you very much. My friend is actually now in a wheelchair after he was paralysed in Spring 2015 when a tree fell on him. He still loves them. He'll go to great lengths to save a tree!

I have friends who live in sheffield so i've sent it to them and also bunged on the Book of Faces.

It's also in the Pub planets, but it is only for Scots to sign. Not sure we have any Scots in here do we?

unless there's lurkers? *looks into the dark depths of lurkerdom and shivers*

Ooh, there might be.

*coughs* Dear Lurkers. Please sign these petitions if you love trees and are Scottish. Thank you kindly

You would have enjoyed my dinner P. Left over from Sunday. Pinto beans, roast root veg (carrots, parsnips, butter nut squash, swede, leeks, celery and apple) cassaroled in dry cider. I add a table spoon full of porrige oats which makes it thicker and unctuous and add herby dumplings for the last 20 minutes or so.

Unfortunately I finsihed it tonight but will bring some in here next time I make it. In the meantime do you fancy a little port and some stollen?

ETA I just looked up unctuous and it doesn't mean at all what I thought it meant. I meant gloopy in a good way.

Are you a Scot Chins? That explains the compulsion to go on raiding parties even when you neighbours are inviting you to share nicely.

I didn't know fox hunting was still allowed in Scotland. IN fact I didn't knwo they did it up there in the first place. I thought it was the pastime of the nobs in the shires.

Notorious and barking but was laugh until the tears run funny (unintentionally I think)

Nibbles pork pie with onion chutney, courtesy of M&S. Lovely day out shopping, pound land in particular. Toffee pecan roulade in freezer, planets, also lemon and raspberry one, saved a couple of quid.

Shocking fog, not so bad this morning but tonight had to crawl the last 5 km home.

*Nicks all food for self, scarpers*

Whoops! Oh yes


THere wasn't any food Strange little man

Meat and two veg?

Put those back in your trousers immediately

ooo lovely! do the oats dissolve? i knew what you meant with the unctuous! a sort of silkiness to the sauce!

if the port and stollen is still available that sounds lovely!

oh well done tk!! M&S red onion chutney stuff is delicious isn't it? good plan to buy in bulk
