A question about : Chicken safety

Ok so I have cooked a chicken (yesterday) and put the carcass in the fridge. and today I am boiling the carcass to make soup for tomorrow but I have just thought that means it was cooked then cooled then boiled so will it be ok to be reheated in soup when I want it? Might freeze it. I'm confused!!!

A question about : Have you got the 'old' GoodHousekeeping Cookery Book?

I'm looking for a recipe for biscuits I used to make when my kids were little. It came out of an old version of the Goodhousekeeping Cook Book that has since fallen to pieces. I know that it used syrup and oats but can't remember what else. It was also under the rather unfortuate non pc name of 'Nig Nogs' ....we used to call them crunchie biscuits. Has anyone got the recipe? My daughter really wants us to make them. She's 22 nearly 23 and is reminicing about the old days

A question about : Other uses for bath bombs

Hi,

Does anyone have any ideas for using up bath bombs? I have no bath so I can't use them in the conventional way! I have so far kept them in my clothes drawers to give a nice smell but they are starting to lose their fragrance.

Thank you in advance.
