Smudge

I make my sugar cookies with gluten free flour and it makes them really light and yummy

Sounds like a good reason to move to Scotland and bring more members to my tiny little branch!

You could do garlic mushrooms - cooked mushrooms in a garlicy breadcrumb crust Or stuffed cherry tomatoes

I am going to be trying a new recipe. I am going to make the cornbread from this: BBC - Food - Recipes : Chilli beef cornbread pies

We are having our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve and will be feeding about 10 people. We will be having: Turkey, salmon or pork loin Roast potatoes Carrots Sprouts Peas Sweetcorn Broccolli Cornbread Stuffing Cranberry Sauce Desert will be: Chocolate Cheesecake or Chocolate Yule Log

I have a couple of friends who had long distance relationships and are now happily married so it can work out

Sandwiches. cheese and pineapple chunks on cocktail sticks - very 80s but always popular

Puff pastry cheese straws - roll out some ready made puff pastry. sprinkle grated cheese on half of it, fold in half, reroll out, sprinke cheese and repeat once more. Brush with either a milk or egg wash and top with some more grated cheese. Cut into strips - and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake (can't tell you the temp because I am not sure what it is - I just go by what it says on the packaging) Sausage rolls - sausage meet wrapped in puff pastry and cooked for about 20 - mins until golden brown

Must vary - across the UK then as well between here and the USA My mother is Divorced and hits the roof if anyone dares to refer to her as Ms

Over here at least Ms has a couple of uses 1 - if someone is married but doesn't take their husbands last name (maybe for professional reasons = for example a teacher who gets married part way through a school year) 2 - women who are in a relationship but are not married 3 - women who don't want the world to know if they are married or single I realise it might be different in the USA - but that is why I always score out Ms and write in Miss

I hate being refered to as Ms! I am unmarried and therefore a Miss - and happy for the world the know that! I have been known to score Ms off of forms and write in Miss!

I am sorry - sending you hugs from across the ocean.

I am a big fan of using bicarbonate of Soda/Sodium Bicarbonate - put your towels in a bath of it in solutions. It is great for absorbing smells in general - in shoes, fridges, funky smelling water bottles! I between summers at summer camp, when my water bottle was stored in friends Shed so I didn't have to cart it home, I would just put some in my bottle to prevent smells. Good luck

I read this and thought what is so surprising about people walking places - and then I looked at where you live and remembered my experiences in the USA and suddenly I understand why it is so surprising! In my town most people walk to - but that is because we have a completely different attitude towards cars for the most part and we have better public transport! And talking of various berries! My house has it its own Blackberry patch :) Which produces award winning ankle wrecking Blackberries!

The vitamin C factory in my town is (or at least was) the worlds biggest factory and is the main employer in the valley My town (actually little more than a village) is one of 3 in a valley and about 2/3 of the population of 3 towns are all related! In my branch at the moment every active member over the age of 20 has been thru the temple - sounds impressive until you realise that we only have about 20 active adults! Dispite living in Scotland where everyone thinks we have long cold winters - I live on the west coast which is more mild - to the point that town over the hill, and right on the sea coast can grow palm trees
