*books train tickets*

That's a great idea about only doing half. I will certainly think about that, just a wee bit and the veggies. I always served broad beans, peas, boiled spuds and white sauce with parsley on ham but your cheesy leeks....I WANT

They work really well with the ham i reckon you could spread some cold in a ham sandwich and it would be lush
Cheesey leeks are fab I reckon half would do a hot meal and then sandwiches and lunches until miniTwass arrives. You could eat all the evidence before she gets there

I don't know whether to just lie and say "great!" or to tell the truth.
Part of me want to lie cos it's depressing and awkward for the people hearing about ill health but then i don't like lying to people. So i decided to come and ask you guys what you think!”

I think it depends if this is an overture to them playing a bigger role in your friendship circle going forward. Also how good a friends they are (horrible grammar but I coudn't find an alternative without going all around the houses)

I would go for something like 'I am alright in myself but have gone through the wars quite a lot since we last met. In and out of hospital like a yo-yo. In other words tell the truth but in a light or humourous way and don't go into detail unless they ask. I thnk that is what I would do. But then again I don't know them. Come to think of it I don't know you either although I feel like I do. I think puts my advice into perspective.

I think of all meats, ham is the one that re-cooks the best. Such a versitle meat I am so glad I wasn't born jewish or muslim. In fact in my late teens I toyed with converting to Judaism but the foresaking of bacon was the deal breaker.

Hammy stuff, saw Mary Berry recommending mango chutney as a glaze. The national dish, bacon and cabbage, never uses a glaze. Boil bacon/ham, always cook cabbage in bacon water, gorgeous.

Moved bullocks into shed today, only two cows to go. Winter is here.”

Wot no spuds!

As for the BIB - completely misread that. Thought you had just had a bad day.

Reaction after I'd thought about it for a bit. But some, if not all, will genuinely want to wish you well and send good vibes.

Spuds are never mentioned because they are non negotiable. (London sister got married in a v. posh home counties hotel, who were taken aback when told to serve, minimum, 6x usual spud portion).
