Picking up my dry cleaning and the lady handing me $50.

Apparently it was in my jacket pocket

I gave her a $20 tip, now I know why she has always been our dry cleaner!

[A Mum]

Thats fantastic TAM !
The fact she gave it back and the fact that you rewarded her

Doug Thomas taking the time out of his day to come and see my old man in hospital. Despite what alot may think about him he is a top bloke. He was looking good himself as well which was pleasing.

Making a pork roast where the crackling actually turns out. Most of the time it doesn't.

I don't know why it worked this time - I do the same thing every time I make one and nine times out of ten it ends up all leathery instead of crunchy.

What do you do Fisho/CP?

This is what I do:

Smooth oil over the 'crackling' and sprinkle generously with salt.
Put in the oven on a very high tempreature for 15 to 30mins.
(Turn down before it gets too dark)
And then turn the heat down to moderate to cook for remainder of time.

Yep almost the same here...only no oil.
Set oven as high as it will go
Make sure the skin is as dry as possible and has been well scored (butcher should do that for ya)
Plenty of salt to draw more moisture out while cooking
Put in oven and turn down to proper temp for your oven.

Worked for my late granny, works for me and apparently Jamie Oliver too
Don't know why but 'crackling' can be a strange beast...my dad can get it to work perfectly but my step-mother doing it the same way, using the same oven has never got it to 'crackle' Guess you just need to try different ways til you find one that works for you...good luck

Start of the 6 Nations...75 minutes to go til the season begins...bottle of Magners chilling in the fridge...homemade barm brak ready to be buttered...

Go Ireland...shoulder to shoulder we'll answer Ireland's call
(even if my boy DOC is out injured and Italy have got an Aussie former League player on their team http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/8499148.stm bottom of the page to see who )

Sounds like you've got yourself a 'good night/afternoon in' JAS

Goodluck to your team

Thanks...was nice to have a win but I hope to god the rest of the tournament is a bit more inspiring. Probably one of the most insipid games I've seen Italy play...normally great fun, like watching 15 Jack Russells going after a ball

For anyone who's recorded the England v Wales game or watches highlights...don't adjust your set...there's nothing wrong with it...England are in an off-white replica strip to celebrate Twickenhams 100th birthday when the 1st game was also against Wales.

I rated Englands jersey (watching the replays on Fox sports News). Reminded me of the old rugby high-lights shows I used to watch with Mr McLaren calling. I reckon the old style Rugby Jerseys of simple colours are best like the plain scarlet of Wales, the Emerald green of Ireland and pain White of England. England started the rot when they put the two blue and two red stripes on the right arm of their '91 World Cup jersey.

That's what I do except I rub the salt in as well. I reckon I must not turn the temperature up high enough initially, our oven's a bit old and dodgy. I had it at 230 this time so I'll try it again and see if it still works.

Creme eggs! The ads are funny as well.
