Thank you! It was the par-boiling stage I was especially unsure about - I've read some instructions where you do, some where you don't...much confusion! (and it doesn't take a lot to confuse me in the kitchen!)
We're having gammon for dinner tonight, so I thought roast celeriac would be a nice veg to have with it...I shall report back later

You don't absolutely have to par boil - I didn't at first but you do get better results and guarantee soft middles when you do.

I really like the idea of microwaving the celeriac first - all that faffing about with a saucepan to parboil never appealed (soooo lazy, I know!).
Hopefully it will stop the chips shrinking away to nothing once they're in the oven

OMG that pic is to die for.
I've mentioned this before - but why don't we open a restaurant?!! Apart from the fact that none of us has any money, of course....

My cousin is a private chef - she managed in restaurants for a few months before the stress got too much. Long hours, boiling hot, high pressure - looks like the worst job in the world to me! I get tired just making meals for myself! Maybe when I can afford to hire jun tanaka to run it for me

So there was a jumper I really wanted from Topshop. I have never bought anything from Topshop as when I was a teenager they only went up to size 14, and now they go up to 16 and everyone says they run small.
But anyway I thought I'd get this jumper in a 16 and slim into it. But. It had sold out in that size so after a frustrating day ringing stores to try to get it, I bought it in a 14 and thought I'd try and slim into that eventually.
So it got here today and it fits perfectly its even a little bit baggy.
It can go with my size 14 primark jumper in the list of things that shouldn't fit me but do.
Just wish I didn't have the swamp monster stomach to ruin things.

Loose skin (in the amount i have) never shrinks back I'm afraid, and can't be retrained. The only thing that will get rid of it is surgery. I lost a few stone a few years back so if it was going to improve it would have but it gets worse with every lb lost. It upsets me so much, I honestly cry daily about the state of my body. It's like living in a shipwreck.
The jumper is called twin cat burn out jumper if you want to google it - from topshop. Can't get the link on my phone.
