Thanks, all those sound good. I love marmalade on toast but it does not make for a great dinner. I will have a go at something new and hope for the best. :wink:

Well you can always ask me advice because I love cooking

I did not get to watch it thank god, I heard the local talk show repeat last night and all the stuff that goes on. It put me off completely, my parents were wondering why all of a sudden I stopped eating it. I hear that chickens were being imported and been picked up by lorry and driven to a factory were all there foreign stickers were removed and replaced with Irish ones, so we are not buying Irish chickens :shock:
