Ask the Next Poster a Question...

Claireack

Yes, would be lost without being able to, live in a town but in a rural area.

If you can drive how long ago did you pass your test?

Spags

I failed my mock test about 15 years ago, then went to South America instead of carrying on with lessons, then lived in London for 10 years or so where there is no need for a car - so never did take the test. Thinking about getting around to it at some point...I would like to beable to just take off on adverntures now and then.

What was the last adventure you went on?

Claireack

Ooo, I don't know. Possibly when we went for a walk on holiday last year in Cambodia. Somehow managed to get lost - that was quite an adventure. Although I am never quite sure of where I'm going so perhaps thats not such an adventure.

What was your last adventure??

Black Diamond

Having a 3rd kid :shock:

Last time you were on a job interview?

Claireack

Good grief, probably not for about 10 years.

Have you got a job interview??

Black Diamond

The 300 m sprint.

Good Luck, BD!

Should I put peas in the post roast I'm making later?

Black Diamond

Thanks HH
And hell yes... Peas rock

Do you use carrots?

Claireack

Sometimes

BD - Ummm .... tough one ...... you could say you have been told by your wife that you have a tendancy to become overly committed to your employer.

GOOD LUCK!!! (they'd be silly if they don't offer it to you)

Are you ready to work again??

I do use carrots.

Here's what I'm thinking: potatoes (cut into chunks), carrots, celery slices, peas, and onion (sweet, also sliced).

Any other suggestions?

Claireack

Beans, haricot maybe. Beans are nice in a stew

I'd leave out the celery - but I don't really like it.

What do you use for seasoning?

was thinking about adding beans. on the fence at the moment though.

I don't have the recipe in hand at the moment. it's being e-mailed to me later. had it at someone's house a while back and it was scrumptilicious.

Do you have a recipe?

Claireack

Well, veggie, and I don't really follow a recipe. I just throw whatever I've got in the cupboard in, then add a few veg stock cubes and salt and pepper. Ours usually always has beens in and sometimes barley too.

Are you having meat?

Yes. It'll be a beef pot roast. I've never made it before so I hope it turns out as good as it was the other time I had it.

Good call on the barley. What's haricot?

Claireack

A type of bean, I think they might be the ones used for making baked beans.

Do you eat a lot of beans/pulses?

green beans are a favorite. tried to grow some last year but the rabbits got to them and the peas. i'm ready to go with rabbit fencing this year.

black beans are also a favorite in a home made salsa i make, and when i make burritos. i made an avocado salad the other night with them as well. it turned out great.

kidney beans when i make chili. not chili beans. kidney beans.

what does "pulses" mean?

Claireack

Just another way of saying beans

Love kidney beans in chilli - made it the other night

Do you make an extra large portion and freeze half?

Ha no! The recipe i have makes 8 servings so that's quite enough to make and freeze without doubling. I don't have a kettle big enough to make a double batch. Last time I made it I used tomatoes from my garden that I had canned last fall. I had to add way more salt than I'm used to. I guess the canned tomatoes I buy at the store are so packed with salt that I didn't realize it.

Gonna run.

Will you have a good day?

Black Diamond

So far, so good

Is it unfair to move my family for a job?

No you have to do what's best for you financially and if you do it while the kids are young they can adjust much much better than if you had teens ...

Does PJ20 seem a bit ridiculous now after all we heard about it in JANUARY ...
