It would be greatly appreciated if you could all shout quite loudly at around 5.30
I’m watching something on ebay.
The timer which does hours is in the kitchen and I may be in the garden trying to light a bonfire 
If I take the timer into the garden I may come in and forget it’s out there

When I was taking BP meds, I bought an alarm watch ~ invaluable 
Ok…
Casserole for me today, and freeze some for later in the week.
OK so wear the alarm watch while you are in the garden. Good luck with bonfire.
Funny? I don’t think so. Look at the way creepy Google is showing adverts on this site for me now. I searched for ‘Forex Trading’ some time ago and ‘Cooking Timers’ very recently.
No Sunday roast for me today! Boo hoo. Did a carboot so made up corned beef sandwiches to nibble while there, then at 3.30 friend and I were in McD’s, having a happy meal. Then this evening I put a custard tart in the little oven. (so I could take my meds.) With a cuppa, it was mmmm. Hope to do a roast tomorrow.
Talks of boiled eggs reminds me of many many years ago when I lived at home with parents. I put an egg on the stove to boil, then guess what I did? Went off to the local school for an evening class!! When I got home, Dad (who fortunately was in, I believe Mum was at work for the GPO) asked ‘Did you mean to leave that egg on the boil?’ Oh.My.God! To this day, I can’t remember if the saucepan and stove survived the ordeal. I rather think the egg didn’t though.
I’ve never had a timer on my cookers either Geoff. I use the “poke” method with vegetables and meat. If they’re hard vegetables I poke them with a pointed knife to see if they’re cooked through, and if it’s a chop, joint of meat, chicken or whatever, I use the same method. Lamb and beef should show just a little blood, but a chicken should run clear, but no joint should be carved immediately, as they should “rest” for at least 10 minutes to settle before serving, which makes it more tender.
I learns a lot from watching me cookery programmes, tha’ knows!

Buy yourself an Egg Cooker. I wouldn’t be without mine. Cooks up to four eggs from soft to hard boiled. If it rings when finished and you don’t hear or respond it automatically turns itself off. Easy peasy and no exploded eggs.

Not as bad as my daughter. I was at work and she put a tin of condensed milk on to boil (those days you couldn’t buy the caramelised ones) and she forgot about it and when I got home there was condensed milk on the ceiling, walls, cupboards, anything on top of the cupboards and floors. Unfortunately one small wall near the stove was covered with a special Cork which had holes in it. You guessed it I spent weeks catching up on all the bits.
We laugh about it now, but at the time it was no laughing matter.
Good idea to wear the watch … BUT …
slight problem ~ I didn’t change the time last spring so it’s an hour slow and that’s confusing + I can’t remember how to alter the alarm time and the instructions are bananas 
OK ~ I’m just too lazy 
:shock: :!:
Bonfire kind of worked and I managed to burn masses of papers at last … and create an enormous amount of smoke 
Crackers with Vegemite for lunch. Left over Corned Beef from last night, we love our Corned beef with veggies etc. Maybe a custard tart for afters!!
We are having Chicken Casserole, new potatoes and vegs.
Egg on toast today, having a carb cut down again so only one slice of toast. Might do some mushrooms with it too.
Yes darlin’ - I too like corned beef - had a round of corned beef and onion sarnies last evening - DELICIOUS!!!
chicken and leek soup for lunch…then we’ll have curry followed by apple tart for dinner…
Looks like another all chicken week here. We had the one half of the breast between us yesterday, today have promised to use the legs/thighs to make a chicken and veggie pie with home made shortcrust, and found some frozen puff pastry in freezer so will use that to make some chicken and mushroom turnovers for son to take with him to Cardiff tomorrow (using condensed chicken soup as creamy sauce filling), and then will use the carcass and any bits of meat attached to make a soup for him to take to work on Wednesday. And believe it or not, the chicken every day is at his own request. I swear he would sprout feathers if left to his own devices.
I have given up on evening meals now so I am sticking to liquid refeshments only. Well you ain’t suppose to eat after 8pm are you? Well that is what I been told anyway 
.
So do as I do Mark matey - eat my main meal at lunchtime (around 13.00) and a plate or sarnies early evening (around 18.00)
Liquid lunch for me today 4 walnuts, 10g of sunflower seeds, stalk of celery, cup of romaine lettuce, and one beetroot all whizzed up in our nutribullet to make a delicious liquid meal.
