My Mother in Law is exactly the same only she's ugly.

MS

does she have an underwear range?

Yes it's very large and pink.

MS

Tandoori Chicken.

Ingredients.

6 chicken thights
4 Tbsp plain yogurt
1/2 inch crushed fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic crushed
3 chillies ground
1/2 tps cardamom
1 & 1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pepper
paprika (to colour)

1. Using a sharp knife slice 3-4 slashes across each of the chicken pieces and remove the skin.
2. In a large bowl mix together the chicken and all the ingredients, except the yogurt, getting well into the cuts.
3. Add the yogurt to the marinated chicken mixing throughly. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight if possible 24 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 230C/Gas 8.
5. Place the marinated chicken on a rack in a roasting tray. Roast on the top shelf for 25 minutes, turning halfway through, untill the chicken is cooked through. It might need basting with oil if you want.

If you don't like it too hot cut back on the chillies. If you prefer grill for 30 minutes to give that barbecue flavour.

Enjoy

MS

has anyone done the su doku number puzzle in the times (back page of T2)? a nice diversion when things get dull

mickeyskint, excuse me naivety in culinary matters, but can you do similar with a decent steak ???

i need a great stock idea to make a few hundred thousand...any thoughts?

Snakey I don't think it would work with steak as the cooking times are different and might dry out, but try it that's what good cooking is all about.

Prop, we all want one of them. I like the look of and have gone for DGM as one of my 2005 plays. I also think HMY will increase by 1 at least and SEY will start to happen. If you fancy a bit of a risk I think DES could well make some people very happy.

LOL

How about Exeter to beat Man U at 16/1 tonight! ;-) Or Bez to win big Brother at 7/1!

Mickey, that was a nice recipe. Would maybe work with lamb, tasty!

so happy Lisa left the house. how annoying was she!

Baby keeping me up all hours. might trade some aussies tonight....i look at the majors but for some fun there is a lovely little gold stock called Austminex (ATX) and also a small gas exploration stock called Golden Gate (GGP). held for a while and just have a very strong fancy for them. take a look and views would be welcome!

yes she was! and the young kid in the egg costume made me laugh!!

the thing that makes me laugh about the young guy is that he is meant to be this hard, street cred rapper but he comes over as a polite respectful considerate person. good luck to him.
kick up jeremy and caprice..way way too full of themselves.

can't believe Bez won. what a kind of message does that send out!

On reflection i don't think anyone deserved to win, maybe stallone mother!

hey, it's jackie

classic.

well just got my tax bill in. ouch
