Well, we certainly know who is in charge.

Was there any doubt?

Drama Queen texted me to tell me she wasn't going to cadets just as I turned onto her road. Still, at least I don't have to go out again.

Still feeling meh.

Recovering from Sarurday ;-)

Recovering from Sarurday ;-)

I'm fine in that regard. No residual aches and pains. This is more of a mental meh. Part of me wants to do some coding but the rest can't be bothered.

My lemon weighs 53 g ... its a bit dry, lid of a spice jar is 5g, lollipop stick 2g. I think 2 g might be the smallest amount it can measure.

I like them and would buy them again.

They weigh down to one gram, and seem pretty accurate. I agree that you have about a minute to re-zero and weigh something else before they turn off.

Thank you both, that has been very helpful. Despite saying I try to avoid amazon, it seems their price is the cheapest, other websites have them listed at a lower price but then say they are out of stock, so it may be amazon this time.

I got a fabby recipe for a pineapple & chilli chutney Found it in a WI book on preserves I picked up in a charity shop. It's one of my faves. Also love apricot chutney.

Please post the recipe on http://www.cookingbites.com. Or here if you prefer. Apricot chutney? I haven't tried that but I can imagine it might work really well.

Are you coming down to my neck of the woods (Kent)?

I'll do it here, just let me go find the book downstairs. For the apricot chutney I just use a Marguerite Patten recipe for plum chutney that I adapted - I have two apricot trees in my garden and it's a good way of using up any excess. Didn't make any this summer just gone as I had the grand total of ONE apricot...

P.S. Apricot butter is very good too

Earlier I baked a Waitrose steak and ale pie, serves 3, I ate the whole thing. I was in one of those moods.

I listened to an extremely interesting podcast about quinoa this evening.

I like spiced apple and walnut chutney, in cheese sandwiches.
