Cate in NZ Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Congratulations Mel, you Chicken Addict you I only noticed Lesley's new title the other day, I don't know how long she's been a Feathery Fanatic... but I love it I want to be one of those too It's certainly an improvement on the "Effusive Egg Layer" title. Who is the brains behind these daft titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Haven't you had a busy day 'working' from home Now now. I was up at 5am, walked the dogs, did some work, talked to the chickens, talked to the dogs, checked my e-mails, checked the forum, went out on appointments, bought more gin and some more Christmas presents for my God daughter from Hobby Craft (glad of the gin after I got out of there ) cleaned the car (well, took it through the car wash) came home, had a cup of tea, walked the dogs, talked to the chickens, checked my work e-mails (nothing interesting) oh, and checked the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I think that grd is running scared, although there was talk that he might be giving the pants another airing on Christmas day. I've completed my part of the bargain...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Doesn't bear thinking of does it? I don't think that he's got a botty to rival Simon's - probbaly a flat 'boy's bum'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 It was good. I particularly liked the haggis hunting - but not sure about boiling them alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 They are like lobsters Mel you have to boil them alive or they can be nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Going off topic (would I do that? no, very unlike me!) I did watch the Gordon Ramsay F word last week as it had been on the forum. Not sure I was keen on the way Jonathon Ross dispatched the lobsters - ooh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I'm very impressed might be tempted to get the book! Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 It's a great book isn't it, Laura. I'd had a look at Lesley's book before I put it on my Christmas list so I spent yesterday reading it from cover to cover. Ollie and I made butter on Friday so we could make our own brandy butter which was delish but you've just reminded me about the buttermilk which is languishing in the fridge ! Better get some scones baked, hadn't I ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Santa gave me the River cottage Year book and the River Cottage Forever DVD HFW is on Discovery Real time all day tomorrow. Another excuse to do nothing all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Kate - you read more of my book than I did! - I had to keep hiding it as I'd bought two extra copies - one for daughter and SIL and one for my sister and BIL. I can now settle down and read mine. I wish I had bought them half price though and not £18 signed copies direct from RC The butter looks lovely Laura!

Guest Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Where can you get them half price Lesley? Off the internet? If they are as good as you all reckon I will treat myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 WHS had the River Cottage Family Cookbook for half price. Just after I bought mine for the full price Copies still left in my local WHS today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Thanks Ali-s I am on the next plane. Oh blow it is snowing heavily here now in Norfolk - that's put the kybosh on it! Maybe tomorrow then They will probably have a stock of them to get rid of I guess. Thanks so much for letting me know. I am looking forward to hearing from all of you when you try out the recipes. It is not one of those books that look good on the coffee table and do not get used is it? I hate dusting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
