juniper... here's a favourite of mine.
chicken and wild rice salad
1. dice chicken and fry/grill
2. boil long grain white rice (you can make as much or little of this dish as you want)
3. separately boil wild rice (roughly 1/3 of the white)
4. allow above ingredients to cool and then mix gently with mayonnaise, adding green grapes (I cut these in half) and cashew nuts (I also split these,but you don't have to.)
5. voila! yum.

not sure if you have a hob...probably advantageous, but you could do rice in micro....and buy cooked chicken

motherhood ... I buy First Response. It's an instream one but gives you option of dipping into cup, which is my preference. Has a pink plastic cap on it that protects it for showing doctor/partner. It's a simple read...one line not preg, two lines no matter what shade of line means pregnant.
