Hey all

As you know being part of a forum legally requires you to get bombarded with surveys for every single uni degree ever

Well this is no different, my wife needs people to fill this out, if you could do that for me I'd really appreciate it, if she gets enough replies I'll try and think of a treat for you all

Thanks ☺

Done :)

The bay city rollers???

I met one version of the Bay City Rollers in my youth. They were just exiting one of my friends flats as I was entering it. They'd been partying there and I was just about to do the same. They did look a bit odd in their tartan striped trousers walking down the stairs of a shitty tower block in a rough area of Birmingham. Actually, it's a wonder they got out alive looking like that. I, of course, was sartorially elegant in my denim jeans and denim jacket with shiney black leather shoes!

Brussel sprouts are the business. Why do pubs not put Brussels sprouts on Sunday dinners?

You must live in a cult.

Brussels Sprouts are progeny of the Devil. It may sound harsh, but why else boil them for months??????

It's the boiling for months that's the problem. Steam them (fresh ones) for 12 minutes and they're little bits of heaven on a fork. Edited by mandolin

Now that is EXACTLY where you're going wrong with sprouts. Cook them lightly. Steam, or fry with butter and chestnuts, maybe some bacon. You boil anything for hours and it'll be disgusting. Exactly the same with broccoli. That should have 4-5 minutes boiled in shallow water. Any more and it goes minging.

EDIT: SNAP!

Agreed! (yes, I'm back to comment on sprouts!)

They're bloody delicious as long as, like all veg, they are cooked properly. Sorry to be a hypertensive threat, but a little bit of crushed sea salt after they're lightly cooked and they're gorgeous. they have to be fresh, mind - if they get a bit old, they can be very bitter. pull off the outer layer or two, forget that cutting a cross in the base of the stem rubbish, gently boil, as S2H says, in water that covers them about half way and bingo.

In other news, had a fab day with the relatives and my youngest's birthday. Just checking the forum before off to bed after a full-on day. And, I am full-on back on the anti-eating-loads-of-crap wagon tomorrow, plus a run. Glastonbury get into proper shape starts here...

Night, lovelies

mandolin, s2h, thanks, but no thanks. Brassicas have no place in my life. Ugh.

Has anyone else been sectioned by this nostalgia survey, or will I be ok? I've done it, so hope it helps :-)

Slightly confused, being blamed for hangovers.

But I have broad shoulders, so I will nominate myself as hangover blamer this weekend.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend up to now.

Slodge I'm blaming you already! I think too many nights on the pop has brought on an early hangover for me and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!! my head is thumping after an all day session watching the football. I'm up for work tomorrow. Naughty slodge!

Aunt Bessie's frozen sprouts only take 4 minutes. You've been doing it wrong all along Carlos!! Edited by Curlygirl
