the choosing a recipe thing is going pretty well, apart from the incredibly expensive tastes my two older daughters have and the disaster with the crabs (moral of the story, frozen crab is worthless and crabs need to be *big* to 'dress' at home successfully.) Tonight's choice was paella, v v tasty with the choriso and fresh thyme (next door neighbour's plant grows through our fence) and saffron, next time needs more saffron. But I must remember to have the liquid really really bubbling before I put seafood-y things in it.
Tomorrow (we missed a couple of weeks, with the crab and me being ill last week) we're having a Swedish lamb recipe from the Green and Black's recipe book I got for my birthday. Which will be really interesting, though I've had a meat recipe with chocolate in before, partridge in rich chocolate sauce for Christmas dinner pre-children.
Woohoo dd4's just fallen asleep!
There are rumblings that Virgin Media won't be able to show Sky One for much longer, which is a drag for us fans of Bones and Battlestar Galactica. Downloading and converting to wmf to play through the xbox or figuring out exactly why we can't get the sound through the tv from the pc is going to be the way to go apparently. Anyone with good links or info on how to sort that out please lmk!!

No idea on how to sort your techy stuff out, sorry, but oooooooooooh, other battlestar galactica fans! (although having no TV we're only on the DVDs, so waaaaaay behind!) Lucy
YUM to meat & choc!
& this from a non-meat, non-choc eater..! ^^
:) Lucy and lol Gill, the sauce made the meat taste a little bit kidney-ish which I don't like, but was still meat textured which I do so it got et, lol.
BSG kicks ass.
