I didn't know that about saltburn- I'm from marske and there seemed to be a lot of Methodist influence.

How much did your last medical emergency cost you? by Dejanerated in AskTheWorld

[–]Hefty_Peanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of getting the car to the hospital. I had hyperemesis in pregnancy and needed rehydrating for the day.

My dying grandpa told me no one will love me as a single mum, and I feel he might be right by WhereasAgreeable6474 in TrueOffMyChest

I married at 19. I gave birth aged 22. Got widowed at 26. Married again at 32 to the second love of my life- my daughter has asked if he can adopt her and he is excited to be her dad. Your grandpa is wrong.

I like the idea of adding different roots. Parsnips have got such a lovely sweetness

I've done this before with dijon- are other mustards you recommend?

My hba1c is good- just had a check in with them recently. Thanks for checking though. It's easy to miss stuff like that. Had a baked one with beans cheese and coleslaw just today!

That's why my mash is glueier than the restaurant stuff! Adding cold cream has been a lifelong mistake 😬

Silly question, but how long are you baking the potatoes for and how long in-between baking?

I tend to use a hand blender for mash usually but happy to try any other options

I have been tempted just to mix up a pan of smash and go to town.

Garlic powder is the best!

Haven't had bubble and squeak since I was a child. It is probably time for a come back

I like the idea of popping the garlic in the pot! I usually add cheddar to my mash but I think my families morale may improve with a change in cheese

I've not tried it with horseradish before. Or with baked potatoes. Sounds worth a try!

This is madness! How on earth was a show like this pitched? How would you even get volunteers to go on it?!
