Cheers Pam...I did see that so should have been slightly more specific...could probably do most of that apart from the 5 eggs. Chooks are off the lay at the moment and as big egg eaters I only have two at the moment so not sure what I could use instead. Got heaps of kumara hence me asking the question and thought I might try something new.
