  1. But how many times have you read

     

    "Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much."

     

     

    Believe it or not, that was from memory :lol:

     

    ;) strangely I would be able to quote that off by heart even though I usually skip the first few chapters, but I couldn't do that with chamber of secrets which is my favourite.

  2. :) Is that it? You must have a lot of self control!

     

    More lack of funds! I was buying more when I was working but didn't usually have a pile of more than 3, I would buy them in the 3 for 2 offer at waterstones, read them then buy more.

     

    I have 2 others I'm waiting to receive though

  3. Everyday :). They dragged out the who's pregnant thing a bit too long I think, I prefer the story know we know. Declan is being a bit of an idiot, but I still think Bridgit is being a bit hard on him, he was obviously just acting like that cause he was freaked out

  4. I agree, illustrations can be really good when reading. Usually not everything is illustrated so the kids get to fill in the gaps with their imagination.

     

    I still remember lots of books with great illustrations. The Jaquiline Wilson books with all the illustrations by Nick Sharet, The Shirley Hughes books. And books with illustrations by Quinten Blake (and sometimes written by him too)

  5. Try ratatouille, easy, only uses the hob, plenty of veg. and tasty! I used to cook it for my uni friends and all but the boyfriend (who complained about the lack of meat) left uni with the recipe.

     

    I'll give you recipe in case you don't know it

     

    For 4 use:

    1 corgette/zuccini

    1 green pepper

    1 aubegine/egg plant

    1 small tin kidney beans

    About 5 mushrooms (depending on size)

    2 cloves garlic (crushed)

    1 onion

    1 large tin chopped tomatoes

     

    1. Chop corgette and aubigene into strips and salt

    2. Fry onion and garlic

    3. Add chopped mushrooms and pepper

    4. Rinse salt off corgette and aubigene, add

    5. Add tomatoes in juice and stir

    6. Allow to simmer for about 20 minutes

    7. Rinse kidney beans and add cook for about a minute

    8. You may want to add basil too

    9. Serve with pasta and/or garlic bread (I believe you can get garlic bread which can go in the microwave)

  6. yes i like to read thrillers, detective, and war/millitary, some travel and some biographys

     

    I quite like detective novels and war novels myself, but not thrillers, I get scared toon easily :blush:
