Morning all. Well what a horrible evening last night...I went to the pub quiz as usual, and while we were there one of our elderly team members just dropped dead!! :eek: He must have had a massive heart attack or something because he just keeled over and hit the bar...there was no pulse or anything despite half an hour of chest compression and him being shocked and everything. I'm just numb this morning...it's been a long time since I've seen anybody die :( xx

That is awful Sian. What a shock for all concerned and more so for his family waiting for him to come home from the pub...........so sorry.

hugs xxxxx

I'm so tired tonight I think I could sleep on a clothes line!! I've spent the last 3 hours sorting out my year ten books and sticking in everything they haven't bothered sticking in. I'll be telling them off on Monday as it's been a complete waste of my time when I could have been marking their books! Grrr! I'm too tired to start marking now so I'm going to have an early night I think. I'll catch up with all your diaries tomorrow...night night all! Xx

Stolen from Sue's diary to remind me to make it!


Easy Peasy Seafood Chowder

FREE on Extra Easy (with HE-A milk)

Serves 2

Ingredients:
· Any smoked white fish loin of your choice (haddock, cod, etc), cut into large chunks.
· Prawns
· 2 rashers of bacon (trimmed to remove fat) chopped
· 2 carrots, small-ish slices
· 1 leek, sliced
· Half an onion, chopped finely
· Tin of sweetcorn
· Potatoes (about 400g) peeled and cubed
· 500ml milk (semi-skimmed or skimmed)
· Bay leaf
· Salt and pepper to taste

Method
1. Sweat the onions in frylight and add the bacon to cook through.
2. Add the carrots, potatoes and leeks, season and add the bay leaf. Pour on the milk, bring to the boil and reduce to a low simmer. Keep stirring regularly so the milk doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pan.
3. When the veg are starting to become tender (about 10 minutes depending on the size of your spuds), add the prawns, fish and sweet corn. You’re really just heating these through, and the fish takes no time to cook. The fish will break into nice flakes as you stir.
4. About 3 or 4 minutes later, it’s ready to serve! Ladle into a big bowl and tuck in.

Cook's tips:
F 250ml of semi-skimmed milk is a HE-A choice, so if you use 500ml of semi-skimmed, half the portion is the A. I used skimmed. You get 350ml of that, so if you choose skimmed, you’ve still got 100ml of milk left for brews or whatever during the day!
F Not keen on smoked fish? Simply substitute non-smoked white fish. It will be a more delicate flavour but still tasty.
F Hungry? Feel free to bulk it out with a bit more veg - mushrooms are nice, or perhaps swede. Make sure there's enough liquid for your potatoes to cook though.
