Do you think I ought to do it on the stove then? I gave the peas 3 washes
and now they are soaking. I got a big piece of smoked gammon out of the
freezer and it is now defrosting. heh i've even taken pics <g> If you think
I should do it on the stove and are happy to guide me, I will.

I don't necessarily need it for dinner tomorrow. Will it keep ok in the
fridge once cooked?
