number I had to look at the last page to realise your DH was back in hospital. What a terrifying experience for you both. Sorry to hear this and I hope he is well on the mend now. Also hope you have managed to have a bit of a relaxing evening for yourself and a well deserved rest. flowers

I'm not a peanut butter fan Nellie and yet, I love peanuts or in fact any type of nuts. DGs would eat jars of the stuff grin

I developed a liking for Ryvita with a good quality peanut butter on top. I snacked on that all the time I was feeding DD.

I clicked too soon. Was going to add that hubby was told he could go home at lunchtime, then at 4.35pm he was told they were keeping him one more night, to have another x-ray in the morning, and they`ve clamped the drain tube until then. Hopefully all will be satisfactory tomorrow, he wasn`t very happy at the idea of staying another night.

I`m not usually a fan of crispbreads, but just lately, I`ve become quite fond of Jacobs crispbreads, crackers and flatbreads, in every flavour.

Oh yes they most certainly are, I have some in the cupboard. Let's just say that they have been there since October...

nannieroz111 Mon 11-May-15 22:18:22

Definitely crackers janer not crispbreads. Glutafin do just plain crackers (salty), I seem to recall Mrs Crimble did a tasty version too. Rice cakes are an alternative, although I think they can be a bit like eating polystyrene! grin

I make so many mistakes, my brain races on faster than my fingers can keep up with, so unless typos are highlighted as spelling errors, I usually miss them. Hence my very recent "humanly" rather than "humanely"

Agus Mon 11-May-15 22:05:14

Yes, I got that answer on google too. Suppose I will just have to move with the times then as although computer programme is acceptable it seems the majority use the US program.

pompa Mon 11-May-15 21:54:34

Quote "In British English, program refers to computer programs and their programming, and programme is used for all other senses of the word."

This means that a UK spellcheck would accept either. So simpletons like me would not notice an incorrect use.

janerowena Mon 11-May-15 21:49:02

I think it depends on how people are able to set the tablet/phone/PC they are using.

GF crackers nannieroz - do you mean cheese crackers, or crispbreads? I shall have a look, I have seen GF cheese crackers but not tried them yet.

Agus Mon 11-May-15 21:46:31

I have noticed the U.S. spelling, programs, a few times on GN. Have I missed something and we no longer use the UK programmes?

nannieroz111 Mon 11-May-15 21:36:32

You can buy GF crackers janer. They are surprisingly tasty. I think its because crackers are supposed to be hard. I found all pastry, bread, cake turned out dry and hard within 2 or 3 hours after baking.

janerowena Mon 11-May-15 21:18:59

I like ryvita too! Often garlic cream cheese with cucumber, maybe egg and tomato. Although I'm not sure I can eat it now, I shall have to check - maybe I will be fine with the dark one, my favourite.

Smoked salmon, cream cheese and a little chopped spring onion. Caviar if you have it. grin

Ah - it appears I shall no longer be buying ryvita. What a pain, it is my quick weekday lunch during the summer.

pompa Mon 11-May-15 21:13:17

Soop, regarding your computer dropping out of programs. Please check out this thread and run the software I recommend in their. Hopefully they may sort your problem and speed things up.

It's well worth trying!

Agus Mon 11-May-15 20:59:29

That is a very big ask but, I have always been the adventurous type grin

loopylou Mon 11-May-15 19:50:56

Try smoked salmon with a little horseradish and mayonnaise grin

Agus Mon 11-May-15 19:48:43

I have been having the same combination for years loopylou. Could possibly be risqué and try the cream cheese but, sorry, I can't even stand the smell of marmite shock

loopylou Mon 11-May-15 19:36:38

I like the dark Ryvita with cream cheese and smoked salmon when I'm feeling flush......usually it's with marmite grin and cucumber.

Agus Mon 11-May-15 19:32:08

I only like the sesame seed ones now too Lona. Doesn't stop DD1 having a go at me, "oh yes Mum, the seeds will make it sooo much tastier"! Can't believe how much they have all shrunk in size now though.

Nothing but cheese will do Charley

Charleygirl Mon 11-May-15 19:08:35

I am fond of Ryvita and I also like cheese on it- yummy.

soop that no.10 cat is a male and apparently a good mouser. I believe the PC on the door knocks to let the cat inside when he thinks he has been there long enough.

We will be on the move again, have you got planning permission for the site? A sea view would be heaven instead of a blue and yellow tin monstrosity called a Sikh community centre that I have to look at. Every other building around, including mine, is red brick.

Lona Mon 11-May-15 18:51:28

I'm a fan too Agus, but they must be the sesame seed ones! I think the others are like cardboard!

Agus Mon 11-May-15 18:47:16

soop can't believe I have met another Ryvita fan. I don't have a sweet tooth and have been eating these since childhood. Anyone else I,know says they are like pieces of cardboard! Two Ryvitas thick with butter and cheddar cheese. Yummy smile

soop Mon 11-May-15 18:25:06

pompa ...not forgetting interesting individuals such as your good self. wink

Does anyone have a day when the computer decides to close a programme without as much as a by-your-leave? I have lost count of the number of times I've been cut off and needed to go back to square one. I must admit to being everso slightly miffed. The air is a delicate shade of purple. hmm blush

Tomorrow morning I shall be doing my pals ironing. When I've had lunch (Ryvetta and apple), I shall catch up with my Granspal Kitcheners. I look forward to doing so and hope that you'll join me. smile moon

pompa Mon 11-May-15 17:17:16

Jane, I guessed that's where you might live. We are familiar with Breckland, often drive that way when heading for N,Norfolk. As you say, it's the nearest we have to a desert, unique area with interesting flora & fauna.
