It's actually the one you recommeded I'm going buying too! But that one and the one I got are the two I liked most, so I was happy to get either, I was going to buy the other anyway XD

I'm going to buy the other books that interested me Is that cheating?

Good, I'm glad you like the sound of it. I'm quite looking forward to reading "A Redbird Christmas" too

I really want to read this actually.

Ohhh yum. I demand an exact recipe when done!

I got a Christmassy book Nothing suits me better. Now to get my hands on a copy

I think I might just have an open sandwich, I'm not that hungry.

Thats awesome, thanks Charm!

Ohh is there anyway to make fresh leaves lettuce last longer than 2-3 days? You can really only get big bags of it which would last me a week, but it dies usually after 2 days so I usually don't bother with it

I love these people whose fridge you open and theres like, fresh food in dishes everywhere ready to be heated, it looks lovely! And provides choice!

I know! It was you who inspired me to try do this mass-cooking thing, rather than cooking every day

I knew about freezing bread, I do that already. I sometimes store cupcakes for days in an airtight container. They usually taste fine. I'm always wary about freezing cooked things, or even refridgerating them. I'm dying to go cooking today now Waiting on my brother to go to the supermarket...

It helped me at least!

Haha awhhh you have cupcakes later when I bake them

Titania Hardie The Rose Labyrinth (2008) Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Fiction. Synopsis: Before his death in 1609, the brilliant Elizabethan spy and astrologer John Dee hid his most astonishing secrets, trusting his descendants would one day bring them to light. That time has come. In 2003, Will Stafford inherits a strange legacy from his mother: a key and an ancient script with an enigmatic note. Intrigued, he travels Europe seeking answers to Dee’s riddles, unaware that someone is following every move. Back in London, Lucy King becomes entangled in Will’s cryptic labyrinth. As its mysterious twists take her from France to New York, and from literature to myth, in search of its hidden treasure, she has never been closer to the truth, nor in graver danger. General Ramble: The Rose Labyrinth is a complex offering of romance and mystery, with a lyrical style of writing throughout. The credible characters are easy to imagine; ultimately allowing a fictional story, about a mysterious legacy and the secrets of historical characters, to seem very real. The book bears a resemblance to Kate Mosse’s “Labyrinth” and Dan Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ in style/content, but it resembles the better points in each – the beautiful portrayal of both settings and persons, and the thrilling unravelling of a deeply researched mystery which walks the spiritual line between science and religion. An easy, well thought out and interesting read. Rating: 8/10 ***************** Postcards to the usual address All comments welcome of course! Thanks for reading!

Thank you Stephanie Today I'm going making enough of the chicken in the sauce to last three days, and I'm going making my own onion and sage stuffing from scratch to go with it. Also think I'll just make enough mash for 2-3 days while I'm at it, and then I'm going baking queen cakes. I'll be in the kitchen all day!

Wow, three days?? even the chicken?? Awesome!! I'll trust you, given your credentials!

I gotsed it and replied - thank you, I appreciate comments going on my blog as it is somewhat lacking

Thankoo ^^

Audrey Niffenegger The Time Traveller's Wife (2003) Genre: Science Fiction, Romance. Synopsis: Clare met Henry when she was 6 and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 22 and Henry was 30. In essence, the pair met before they met – seemingly impossible, but made reality because Henry is unique. He suffers from Chrono-impairment, a genetic anomaly which makes staying in the present incredibly difficult and Henry finds himself randomly dragged into the past or future where he discovers that you can’t change the future because, like the past, it has already happened. What unfolds is a love story that transcends time and leaves Clare playing a waiting game which starts when she is only a little girl and lasts throughout her adult life. General Ramble: The Time Traveller’s wife gets full marks for originality – somehow making new the old science fiction concept of time travel, imbued with a classic ‘separated lovers’ love story. It is very tricky territory for a book – dependant upon the interrelation of two very different genres for it’s success. Somehow, however, it really works. The book is written from the perspective of the time-traveller, Henry, and his love interest, Clare. The language is witty, and a credible first person narrative, but cleverly and even beautifully written all the same. Overall, while this book has some minor flaws - like being tedious in parts and many characters inspiring little more than indifference – as a whole it is well worth at least one read, and probably two, just to experience the overall flavor of what is a truly accomplished debut novel. Rating: 9/10 ************** Postcards to the usual address Note: Long Ramble does contain minor spoilers. All comments welcome of course! Thanks for reading!

I guessed as much. It doesn't say anything on the jar about storing it once cooked, so I wasn't sure.

Lol thanks =D I don't suppose storing some sauce on it's own would make any difference to it's life span? Well I suppose it's still not too bad - I can just take off the excess from my dinner and store it for the following day, make more the next evening ad infinatum. Or at least til I get sick of honey dijon sauce
