Just in case anyone is missing the series on tv, it's all on you tube as well

That brings a tear to my eye Nay-Nay. My baby turned 30 yesterday. Now our mum/daughter time is spent over coffee/shopping/holidays. We used to turn out some 'creations' many years ago. Then poor DH had to eat them. I was always let off as I had helped make them.

Thanks for the link to Booko, Karen - what a great site!!! My dh orders a new book online every second day, just about, so that will be very handy!

We had a cooking competition up here last year where we had 30 minutes to make 3 dishes (with two Thermomixes though, and a team of 5) from a mystery box of ingredients - it was great fun! My team had to do a bread, a sorbet and a main - so we did pizza bread (very quick) which was the Salmon Salad Pizza that I invented for that, the Chocolate Orange Sorbet (also invented for that), and a thick vege soup with meatballs steaming on top. We made it within the 30 minutes, and won! So much fun

I would love to see more recipes that are quick like that.

why does he order so many jo?
i read 2-3 books a week (when i'm working, more when i'm not) but i can rarely afford to buy new ones, i get second hand ones mostly and now free with my kobo

I'm envious Jo. Although I must admit I couldn't read that many a week. When I retired I planned to spend 1 hour a day just reading. Then I got my TMX, so with that and the forum and all the usual boring house jobs I don't read as much as I should. I'm about 1 a week person, except on holidays I read many more. DD reads a heck of a lot and I read her cast offs and buy some of my own. I also belong to a book club that meets monthly and have just joined a local ABC book club.

He's not into novels - it's all books on Spanish (which he's learning), survival techniques, true life adventure and survival stories, self defence, biographies, that sort of thing... (yes, I know, he's a little odd - ex-army survivalist type - his dream is to go to South America and explore the Amazon or something!)... if he's interested in something he buys books on it! Mostly he gets 2nd hand ones off ebay for really cheap ($2 - $4, sometimes even cheaper)... Our many bookcases are double stacked! Sigh. Oh well, maybe we'll start a library someday!

He soounds an interesting sort of person. My DH will not read fiction either, but give him a book on something he's interested in (Model A cars) and he will read for ever. Our evenings are quite often all of us sitting reading.

Yes, us too - but I like novels better!

Actually, I think I spend more time on the computer than reading these days... all these tmx forums and sites to look at...

I love novels. I will read almost anything. The book I'm reading for bookclub is 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' by Lisa See.
It isn't a book I would have chosen for myself but it is really good. The story of a girls life in a village in China. The foot binding part was agonising.

That sounds really interesting - I've read about that too, and it's so awful!

My husband also reads mostly non-fiction .......... he is completely into military history, which I just cannot see the attraction

but at least if he buys countless books on war and military history, I can buy countless cookbooks without comment

i think my dh has read one fiction book in the 13 years i've known him! but i love my fiction novels (mainly fluffy stuff these das)

My DH calls them 'scurrilous french novels'. They are great when you can't devote a lot of time to reading as they are so easy to pick up and just continue on without having to remember things.

My DH claims to have read lots of fiction. Mainly 'Noddy' etc when he read to DD.

What is it with men, that they don't like novels??? My dh calls them 'Bilge and Swoon'

- not that I read Mills and Boon, never have - I like mysteries

Yes mysteries and 'who dunnits.'
