Welcome. Nice bit of S&G stuffing will do. None of that breadcrumb stuff.
Get the shovel ready, stay warm.

In Bath.....moved from So Cal 4 years ago. Seemed like a good idea at the time!

The snow is getting tiresome now...at least one doesn't have to shovel cold as well.

Thanks, thanks and yes it is....yours ain't too shabby either. Tony Bourdain was singing the praises of the Irn-bru as the greatest hangover prevention ever on his "No Reservations" show last night when he was up in Edinburgh.

Though I can't blame them it is a UK dish after all.

Doner kebab, my OH misses that. A UK food inspector put me off for life re them!!

And battered sausage my all time fav chippy meal soaked in vinegar with pickled onions as you said :thumbsup: (why am I suddenly hungry? :D)

My mum was in fits of laughter when she discovered I kept a bottle of vinegar in my handbag for when I go into restaurants, also a bottle of vinegar in my OH cup-holder in his car (his work colleagues had raised eyebrows :D)


LOL...don't feel so bad about the keeping vinegar in your bag.....I keep sachets of Tabasco (hot sauce)....;)

8.5 inches so far.

I am originally from Harrow in Middx and left in 1983 to go to Los Angeles where I ended up staying for 20 years before tiring of the constant bloody sunshine and heat! Then moved to Maine for white Christmases and cold weather, however I could use some sunshine and heat right now...."the grass is always greener" so they say.
