lol lol sorry got the wrong face and then couldnt delete it. This has been quite an adventure a I have never cooked any Thai food before and until Saturday when I went searching for the ingredients I had never seen lemon grass. I found the recipe on the minimum ingredients thread. It was really tasty apart from my error!! I thought it was 2 tins of chick peas not one . Never mind it was a voyage of discovery lol

Sounds yummy! It's always nice when you follow a new recipe and it turns out well, in my case, if it turns out edible I consider that a good result lol.
Chocko's thread is brilliant, I've found loads of ideas on there.

I keep meaning to say Mo, I love your Avatar, it always makes me smile when I see it

 

[mo53]

Thanks Cloudy. I think edible is a good result too lol. Getting the lemon grass was a laugh. Fortunately I had helped a lady find something she was looking for so I asked her what lemon grass looked like...... and Im pleased to say she knew. On reflection of course I should have googled it before shopping lol. Glad you like my avatar. I always think its cheerful.

I've filed the recipe in my binder as it is definitely one to keep making. I made a huge pot as an alternative yesterday and it went down well but happily, there are at least three portions left, now in the freezer so I know I have something yummy when I fancy it.

It's odd re the three squares thing.... I can be a real pig, believe me, when it comes to, er, well most food really lol but for some reason those three squares are enough. I bite each one in half and just let it melt on my tongue, more or less, it takes ages, especially if its been in the fridge.

drool.. drool.... after that last sentence!!

Lol I've had my calm'ish day today then got friends coming tomorrow, staying just one night, so not too much extra work in the kitchen, just all the bedding again afterwards. At least in this heat it dries quickly but I don't like the ironing when it's hot lol.

Have a good day with your sister tomorrow

Good luck Mo for your weigh in tomorrow, fingers crossed for a good loss this week.

Not sure if Doreen will get a chance to look in but have a super dooper time with your son, it will be lovely for you after all the anticipation and getting ready. Xx

Thx and boo to ironing - lazy me just tumbles the bedding when I take it off the line the lay it out carefully - the throw and a couple of cushions take the eye away from the creases anyway!

 

[upndown]

Very quiet ladies!! I've overeaten on a day out with my sis today - shattered after 3 days out on trot - home now until I recover lol Hope u've all had a good day - bet Doreen is counting the seconds to Andy's arrival now - enjoy it all xx

Lol I do just tumble normally for our bedding but the spare rooms both have white quilts (yeah, mad I know) and they look dreadful if they're creased and being king-sized quilts they crease more in the drier.

Its Wednesday evening, hoorah, Andy will be here soon. Have a lovely time Nanny Doreen and family . Just waiting for our friends to arrive too, any minute now, so I'm having a few mins chill time.
