Find Ancestors

Oooh, I used to love Batman, saturday mornings, sat on the sofa

.dinner dinner dinner dinner BATMAN :-D

I always remember my grandson's birth as it was just a few weeks before that I got 'very poorly' !

I couldn't go to see him in hospital or visit him when he first came home - I went to see him soon after and looked at him through the window so I wouldn't pass on to him anything nasty (I had not been diagnosed at that time) !

I am 'safe' now and have a lovely relationship with him !!

Ohhh the joys of being a grandparent !!!!!!!!! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

It is my grandson's 4th birthday tomorrow and I am looking at his present just before I wrap it !

Parents told me this was what he wanted (appart from the 3 million things he has seen on the TV recently and which he wanted ALL iof them !!).

It is a set of 5 figures !! =- Batman and all the baddies !! - It is to go with his new batman cave and batmobile !!

Hope he likes it !!!

P.S. - I has got an oven to 'do' my ancestors in !!! :-D ;-) :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Sorry Ginns !

Hope it works out well !!

Dea xxx

Celsius...........now that makes sense!


I was thinking, my oven only goes up to 280..........what the heck has Dea got :-S

Sorry Ginns - I is older than you !!

400 degrees F = 200 degrees C = Gas mark 6 !!

Does this help ???

Dea Xxx

It's the 'F' not the 'C' OR the other way around !! ;-) :-D :-D

I will look it up !!!

Dea Xxx

400 hundred degrees.................what the heck of you got in your kitchen


...................a buddy furnace :-0

It's lovely when it is 'oiled and crispy' - dipped in the honey !

Dea xxx

Thanks Dea.........I'll try a bit of the skin and see!

OOOppps - just realised you said do you 'eat' the skins, not do you 'cook' them.

The answer is - it is a matter of choice!

You can eat them if you wish but if you don't like them, just eat the middles!

Dea Xxx

Bake figs, skin on, rubbed with olive oil !

Cut a cross in the top and stuff them with goats cheese - 400 degrees for about 10 - 12 minutes in the oven ??

Serve drizzled with honey

Dea Xxx

Help please - Fresh Figs

I'm doing grilled haloumi with rocket and pomegranate salad.

I have some fresh figs which I want to bake or summat and its so long since I ate figs I cant remember whether I can eat the skin?

Ooooh........yum yum

JB is about to go through the bin, it could have slipped off when he got back on Friday night

So, Sylvia, you never did tell us what the secret was that the jeweller told you.

I am curious now, how did you get that ring off? What is the method that 'always works' ?? :-S

Good morning all :-)

I am totally spoiled for choice yet again Sylvia - wonderful spread, thank you :-D <3

Off for a munch.......................

Jax, rather than risk losing it, if you can't get it to fit, why not put it on a nice chain and wear it as a necklace?
