so i’ll be making chicken a la king over the weekend,
i blame all the american food shows i’ve been watching, Man v Food & Diners, Drive ins and Dives are gonna take the “biscuit” 
i find myself mesmerised and drooling for philly cheese steak hogies and key line pie whilst thinking “it’s already gone 23:30 i can’t have anything to eat now”, and yet i end up dreaming of what i can make and adapt for UK palates 
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
well it’s been a bit mad recently, family and work then no work then FAMILY, then meh!!!
lol one day i’ll catch up
been so busy, blogging took a back seat but i will try and make it on more often!!
“borrowed” from MSE
Impossible quiche

hmmm more than i expected….. how about you?
well i have to say i am amazed at what some of them seem to think prices should be. for example was in one loally that had some tesco’s oven ware priced at £5 each, now i know that they weren’t even that new as i’d bought them! so i had to mention it to the lady at the till, luckily she was lovely about it and was going off to change it as i left.
but the shop next door has a very odd price policy, they sell mainly furniture and i understand they want to maximise what they get so the charity gets a good return but flipping heck they are so far removed. i could go to argos and get stuff new cheaper (and some of it whilst possibly antique is still overpriced for a shop that you’d think would want to help folks!)
sorry vent over
ioiwe 
so i made the stock yesterday in the slow cooker using the chicken carcass from the roast, chopped in a couple of carrots and 2 halved onions.
today i’m roasting off some BNS (butterbut squash) and more carrots and then will blitz it all together! that’ll be tomorrow dinner ready for pre pancake devouring time!!!
well as part of an experiment being run on MSE i made a frugal carrot cake
nomnomnomnomnomnomnom absolutely delish and i really liked the flavour the garam masala gave it!
go and have a read
….. ok was discussing this the other day and wondered, is it ok to take tupperware when you know there will be leftovers?
well fingers crossed the first wash with my gloop is on!!
i had to dilute it with some hot water as i think it is setting as the laundry is too cold
i’ll be back later with an update
UPDATE – ok all seems ok, have done two washes and it smells clean and once dried i’ll be able to tell if looks clean
used a small wash ball about half full of gloop then used 1/4 more of warm water to loosen it, worked wonderfully
