i recently fired the m200 sniper rifle and hit a target out at around 2100 meters.
i was completely shocked that the 5 shots grouped so close together at that distance.

tell you what, having lived abroad for many years, I have to say the amount of love I have received since I returned is wonderful. (I don't mean just the one kind.) Sometimes when we are too close we don't see what we have. |

whilst it's not a hobby of mine, I find home cooking saves me a lot of money. A large lasagne would cost about £4 to make all in and feeds between 08 and 12 people depending on appetite. I freeze what I don't use on the day. Same with lots of other stuff I cook so I don't need to cook every day. |

I attempted prawn crackers from scratch yesterday. such a weird process and such an interesting result . i'm hoping they expand like the ready made batch u get at the chinese market.

blimey, I'd love the recipe as long as it's not too complex, and if it works

4. Using a beater mix for 8 min or knead by hand
5. Make 2 sausage shape
6. Steam for 75 min or so (or until the change takes place) [ u will know it when u see it
7. Cool down and wrap in foil and put in fridge for 1 - 2 days
8. Slice it as finely as possible
9 Roast them on a tray for 3-4 hrs on a low heat (100 or so) to let them dry out
