Hamburgers that are really easy to make?

This week's recipe is from a children's cookbook again, but this is the last time our week's recipe will be from a children's cookbook!  They have such easy to make recipes in children's cookbooks?They are perfect for busy adults to make too, not too taxing!

Saucepan Spaghetti

This dish was wonderful!  It is really easy to make (perhaps because it is from a children's recepie book?

It tastes great too. Just two tweeks to this recipe, I recommend
-only put the grated cheese on the dish when plated
-reduce the liquid content
use it, or not!

Cheers
Dave

Tonight is the night!

I found this little kit which my sister, Helen, bought for me years ago in Germany, in my drawer the other day.

It has recipes, 2 chopsticks, fortunes for cookies and 2 mini lanterns in the box.  I will be using some of these things tonight when I cook the sweet and sour beef recipe tonight!
