hmmmm could you buy one of these £3 jobs cut it in half shove half in the freezer and cook the other bit for yourself?
if not get the train up and i'll have some waiting on the platform for you ![]() ![]() 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

You could eat all the evidence before she gets there

right can people offer me insight into their thoughts over the following please i'd really appreciate it.
Recently some old friends i have known for 25 years (but have been out of proper contact with the last couple of poorly years) have been in contact and are asking how i am. i don't know what to reply so i haven't answered their mails. 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 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. ![]()

*heaves oneself into thread* hello all, hope you're having a good weekend.
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. ![]() As for the BIB - completely misread that. Thought you had just had a bad day.

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.
![]() ![]() got some veggies roasting for tonight's accompaniment to the Ham. ![]() blooming freezing today even with the sun out the frost didn't thaw

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)
