Find Ancestors

You've been doing a lot of thinking Dea...... :-D :-D



Gotta be up at 6am so will bid you goodnight.........~~~~~~~~

I was in there 2 'ish years ago and they allowed it then Ginns - I just hope they do now !!

Our hospitals wont let you take food in...H&S :-0


Years ago when anyone of my lot was in, we would order a pizza delivery, but thats all stopped now

:-(

Is there anybody there ???

If not, I will say goodnight all !

OOOhhh - just remembered my magic food warmer !!

I have a thermos 'thingy' which keeps food hot for hours - I use it when I do my barbacues to keep the meat hot at the table.

Just thought - my DIL's mother could use it to transport home made favourite foods to 'Grandpa' at the hospital! - It might encourage him to eat because he does NOT like the hospital food and REALLY needs building up !

Must ask them about it tomorrow !

Rice is lovely when it is cooked properly !

It is perfectly safe to freeze if it is cooked and cooled then frozen.

Fried rice is pre-cooked then cooled and re-cooked, usually with egg!

Anyway, I will cook some more on Monday and pack my freezer for the next time grand-daughter wants a 'Chinese' !

Dea Xxx

Not too bothered about rice myself, unless its fried rice!


Just had a big plate of veg for dinner.....yum :-D

I'm not that keen on rice myself but would never take chances with it. I use to quite enjoy rice salads at buffets until I found out about the dangers.


Just watching the Trooping the Colour pagentry. What a fantastic sight. OH loves all the precision of the march and, though I appreciate that, it's the colours and visual effects I love. Should be a flypast when they get back to Buck House. Good to see Prince Philip was able to be with her today.


I'll just make a quick bacon butty while we're waiting.


~~~~~~~

No, youre right Dea, its not good for you, so I only have one beaker with dinner in the evening and then brush me teef after

My mate got botchulism from rice in a chinese once, she was in intensive care for a cuople of days and hospital for two weeks.......... :-0 Me and Debs (had the meal with her) had the same food but no rice

I would never reheat rice, rather put some fresh on, for safety

I don't usually waste things either Ginns but I am a 'stickler' for good food management and hygene! If I had put the rice in the fridge it would have been O.K. to freeze later but I could not bring myself to put it in the freezer after letting it sit on the hob for more than 16 hours - I might have poisoned someone :-0 :-(

'Pepsie Max' ! - Is that as effective as Coca Cola for cleaning toilets ?? I am sure it can't be good for you ;-)

Dea Xxx

Dea, food never gets wasted here. I cook a lot and then they all keep picking everytime they go into the kitchen!

Kids and mates turn up and if theres nothing on the hob (leftovers).....mump mump!


I now have a new addication.............Pepsi Max and very expensive Bio Yogurts :-0

Trouble is, I buy the big tubs that are three servings....yeah right, down in one..............................they are fat free (I ignore the sugar content)


.....................help, I need a therapist :-S

Good morning all :-)

Well Linds - you will have a double celebration on Sunday then with OH! - One whole extra year AND Fathers' day !!

I am sure that parts of it have been very hard for you both but as you say, you have got through it ! - Here's hoping you get through many more ! <3

I am just going to have some tomato toast and then I will be back later for some chili con carne with garlic bread - It's ages since I had a good Chili!
Hope there is some nice rice somewhere to go with it?

I cooked a whole BIG Wok full on Thursday as Grand-daughter wanted a 'Chinese'. - I always do a lot and then box the rest up and freeze it. We took her home afterwards and I meant to sort it when I got back and it had cooled.

Unfortunately, I was so tired that I forgot all about it and it just sat there in the Wok until Friday morning ! - I didn't want to take a chance and freeze it then so I had to 'bin' the lot. There were at least a dozen good sized portions in there - What a waste !!! :-( :-(

Hope everyone has a good day !!!

See you all later.

Dea Xxx

Dea hope you enjoyed your "free" day :-)

I have done nothing except cook the M&S £10 meal deal oh and drink the wine :-D

We are going out for a meal with friends tomorrow.

I can't believe that it will be a year on Sunday that OH was diagnosed with cancer and its Fathers Day.
Its been a year of extreme highs and lows but we got through it :-D

Now all I want is to get back to doing my FT it will take me ages cos I will have lost my train of thought :-)

Im here, stuffed and sober, unlike the others that were here........only one left to get get rid of, might offer him a lift!


Enjoyed the result, the match was 'typical' England ;-)

And everyone is........where?


Oooops...it's Friday, Gins will have the Gang round and the England match is on tv.


Am I the only person in the country not watching the match? Nope - there's still traffic outside.... :-D


Oh well, I'll take a looksee on the dark side then :-D

Dea


enjoy your day off!
