Dried bananas are great for my sweet tooth - Tesco's are good - beware a lot of brands with added fat!

Home made broccoli soup with baguette followed by strawberries, mango and ice cream

There are 6 books available to request for Brits on Early Reviewers if you are interested

Pancakes here too with lemon and sugar.

crikey aa - you're giving Louiseog a run for her money at that rate!!

Hi Imogen welcome - I see you are reading Meg Cabot - my 13 year old has just finished 'size 12' - she was engrossed so it must have been good!!

well it was a Tesco sauce I'll have you know and we all agreed here it was pretty tasteless so there!! I'm back to the fat containing ones!!

Welcome Conor - from a land of great writers - maybe you can follow in their footsteps!

Chicken in a low fat tikka massala sauce - with rice and peas - not the same without the fat bit though

yep - interested in both! Thanks Judy

Hi Jenni and welcome - I have read Plain Truth, My Sister's Keeper and The Pact - great reads but a tad formulaic for my liking - I am on a break before reading the rest

You can beat us all in the Quiz now

Not everyone's cup of tea I know however I have read and enjoyed most if not all of her books. My favourite is 'Other People's Children. In today's Guardian there is a called review of her latest book called 'Friday Nights'. Trollope is referred to there as 'The Queen of the Aga Saga' because most of her stories are set in the Cotswold villages and are about the characters who live there. Anyone else enjoy JT? If so, what is your favourite?

ok thanks I entered

Shepherd's pie although it might be Cottage Pie - I used lamb and I can't remember which is which

Same here!

You naughty girls!! You are now in detention!!

Hi Sarah and welcome

Finished 'The Perks of being a Wallflower'. The next book I wanted to read OH has not finished. He keeps telling me how good 'Rumours of a Hurricane' by Tim Lott is but I can't wait for him

Finished this evening. Hmm.... not a great read. Easy and quick and I like the letter writing style. On the positive side the author captured the essence of painful angst of the teenage years which I see currently in my own 15 year old lad. I originally purchased the book for him but he hasn't shown a lot of interest at the moment - ho hum!!

Hmmm.... can you explain?

Last night I saw Omid Dhajili with OH - I laughed and laughed

Have 'Mercy' on the shelf - not read yet - and will stay there for a while if that's what you think!! Enjoy 'The Book Thief'.

Finished 'The Book Thief'. Not decided on the follow up as yet.
