You know what...for christmas I am going to push the boat out and make home made dips for my family...see if they can tell the difference and see if my jeans still fit after!

Making the stuff doesnt fill the jeans - its scoffing it. Given the usual Christmas gross out, how would you tell if the dips had a filling effect?


"Auntie Nellie, here's a tub of homemade humus for Christmas" - is this really how you wish to share your seasonal cheer?

Yes, the way through my families heart is through their stomach...I actually dont eat all the christmas crap at christmas...my indulge is bailey in my coffee...yum yum!

good spot Asset - typo on my part. But surely the calories come from the additives and starch in the shop stuff and not from the natural ingredients (and that's even if you take calorie counting seriously.... calories are just one part of body mass... oops strayed onto the patch marked "obvious")

What?! Haringey for f*cks sake I used to live there back in 2002. Moved Sawf thinking it was where it's at.


Crocs? I have some I bought in Australia BEFORE Stella B and the great Croc invasion in ED, AND I still wear them with socks!!!!!!!!!!yippeeeeee I am a bogan.

>>it's chickpeas, garlic, lemon, olive oil and a bit of what you fancy <<


You forgot the Tahini - essential!. I made a huge batch of the stuff once in a blender and...well...you do end up with rather a lot! M & S do a lovely creamy houmous, but am more of a Tzatziki (spelling?) man myself....

    • For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
    • I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December. 
    • I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.
    • That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
