Okay, I'm off to bed. Dragn and Taxy - I will expect you both for dinner tomorrow - shall we say 7.30pm?

That's okay, bring some with you then! (I think that would get through customs as long as it's not millions of gallons or something.)

I am a "low risk" sort of person. I would throw it out! (I had food poisoning once - it was not fun and I don't want to go through that again - nothing I cooked by the way!)

In all my years, it has never occurred to me to buy a rotisserie chicken. So I checked and a whole, raw, non-frozen, medium sized chicken is around £5. (Which is pretty reasonable.) And a cooked whole chicken is £5.75. Wow. For sheer convenience, a 75p markup is pretty good! (I would...

Nice, simple ingredients. All you need for a good sausage.

There is a new type called "Premium Cattle" now Taxy. Extra leg room.

Yeah, don't bring the crusty steak and lobster with you Dragn! Might have some issues at customs! :ROFLMAO: Assume I'll cook or we'll eat out! (What sort of wine do you like? I'm a Pinot Grigio/Sauvignon Blanc type of gal.)

Must have been some meat in there? Pork or beef I guess?

Update: So, having done some research (which I should have done before getting too excited about visiting the US this year), it seems hotel prices have sky-rocketed since my last visit! My friend is in a work situation which means she cannot commit to anything yet. The latest possibility...

As long as you don't mind my concrete floored kitchen, you're welcome Dragn! (Only a six hour flight I think?) Oh, and yes, cheddar melts quite nicely! :)

Given I don't generally eat steak, or lobster... how about Surf'nTurf? (I'll get my coat.)

Oh, it's even worse than that Dragn. One time, in my bare feet, I walked across the floor in the very early morning and stepped on a slug. Makes me feel ill even now, to think about what that felt like underfoot.:sick: (That's when I put the fine mesh over the air brick!)

I grate it. (Which I assume is the same as shredding.)

1. Open the jar 2. Smell it 3. If it smells terrible - throw it away 4. If it doesn't smell of much - take out a piece of garlic and cut it in half. If that smells terrible - throw it away. 5. After that, it is up to you. Are you willing to take a risk and eat the garlic, or are you...

Well this is mostly what I do Dragn! (I don't add cream, but I beat those eggs to within an inch of their lives!) I add my standard strong (sharp) cheddar and fold over. But I find the cheese turns into a sort of lump. Perhaps I am adding too much?
