Hello!!!! I'm trying to come back to DC after a long absence. Well my little boy (who was born 3 months early and weighed 1lb 7oz) is now over a year old!!! He's crawling, and getting into everything!!! He's a bit of a fussy eater, which is keeping me on my toes at the moment!!! I'm a stay at...

It's used a lot in the UK at Christmas for roasting potatoes, they are delicious roasted in goose fat.

Thank you all! I spent it in the hospital with Joseph! Who bought me a card, and made two big presents in his nappy for me! Little treasure!

He's still only 30 weeks, so is tube feeding. I am pushing to start breast feeding as soon as possible. He probably won't be able to latch til 34 weeks, but they like to start asap. Unfortunately he is still in an incubator, but he is now in High Dependency rather than Intensive Care so...

At the moment, I find La Leche and NCT (national childbirth trust - of which I am a member) a bit difficult to deal with, as I am not breastfeeding exactly, he is in an incubator and being fed through a tube in his mouth. The long line should be coming out today and total parental nutrition...

Um this is England!!!! Ha Ha !!! You can't see a dietician here unless you have a mega serious health problem!!! I did double check Joseph's consultants advice with my own general practitioner and the obstetric registrar, who confirmed that it is correct advice for prem babies nutrition. They...

Check out his picture on my profile, he is very cute, but only weighed one pound 10 ounces!!!

My baby was born at 27 weeks gestation. His consultant has requested that I express with a view to nursing, which I am happy to do. He has asked me to eat healthily but....to aim for 3000 calories a day!!!!! His reasoning is this - a normal woman needs 2000 a nursing woman needs 2500 but...

Hi I went away and then came back and then......got married and um er pregnant, in that order mind! So Joseph Hodges was born three weeks ago, at 27 weeks gestation. He is doing well, but still in hospital and probably will be til August. Its all been a bit shocking! I am looking forward to...

That I have no idea what everything does! The notification thing is new, and the friends lists and stuff. Can someone give me a quick "DiscussCooking for Dummies" please?

Yours looks different to how mine turns out. Mine has a lot of tinned tomatoes, and the sauce is quite thick. I flour my meat before searing, and then putting it into the pot with the other ingredients, and I think this helps thicken it too. I think there are as many osso bucco recipes as...

Hello everyone, and the millions of new people who have joined since I have been MIA. I got married last month, and I've posted my favourite picture! It's in the member's photos. I have, as well as a lovely husband, a sparkling kitchenaid and a food processor! :rofl: I have missed you all...

I think duck is possibly cheaper in the UK than it is in the US. Although everything here is expensive at the moment! My duck breasts I picked up yesterday were cheaper than the equivalent weight of chicken breasts!
