I think it's the swear filter causing mischief. Was it possibly a three-letter word with a 'w' at the beginning, 'g' at the end and 'o' in the middle? If so, I think it's high time for a general feedback campaign to end this madness. ;)

(By the way, since when am I the celebrated grammar nazi around here? Do I really go around correcting people's spelling and punctuation? I would have thought John Wren and luvdids, for instance, were far bigger offenders on that front. :P)

Yeah it was. I didn't realise the swear filter had totally removed the word w0g, :? :x

Revised sentence:
I'm getting chicken parma with scalloped spuds cooked by the sons latest GF, "The W0g".

(her description of herself when I suggested to cook dinner and I'd reheat it when I was ready rather than making everyone wait til my eating time. The response was, "I'll cook it for when you're ready to eat, I'm a w0g "
The "OK" was my response to her statement.

ended up quite tasty even if the spuds were undercooked.

Last night: Roast eye fillet (with gravy), roast spuds, roast pumpkin & onion
Steamed cauli, brocci & brussel sprouts.

Tonight: Curried veg with chick peas, garnished with indian yoghurt & fresh coriander with steamed basmarti rice. Haven't made this in years from a recipe book I found when living in North East Victoria - book by a woman from Baranduda not far from Yackandandah where I used to live many moons ago.

Nice.

Tonight I'm just doing some chicken enchiladas with a side salad. Easy.

I did make up recently some relish/salsa/ whatever out of some of my home grown habanero's. WOW.
