Morning all.......I need some advice......
Im preparing dinner for tomorrow and i would like to know if it would be ok for me to peel potatoes and turnip now, put in pots and fill them with cold water and leave them in the fridge overnight.......would this be ok?? or Do i lose nutrients?? I just want to get ahead, and after ironing for the best part of 5 hours i want a break!!!:jIm going to be frugal:j:DIm going to be frugal:D;)Im going to be frugal;)Beetlejuice Beetlejuice...................:rotfl:0 -
That will be fine mumoffour. Theory says some nutrients will be gone, but I really wouldn't worry. Theory says as soon as you cut a vegetable the nutrients start to go, so unless you can do the 100m dash from garden to pot something has gone missing :rotfl: I cook for an OAP lunchclub and sometimes prepare some of the veggies the day before, never had a problem

I'm a mum of four, but they've all left home. A bit of a mixed blessing :rolleyes: Life is easier, but boy do I miss the joy of family always around. Enjoy your children while you have them, all too soon you've achieved your objective ( they're happy, useful adults ) and the house stays awfully tidy, and awfully quiet and a bit boring, truth be told.

I know exactly what you mean. I miss my 4 sons and secretly hope one of them might come home for a while. I miss family life.Churchmouse wrote: »I'm a mum of four, but they've all left home.

Is it two and three quarter cups? ie a bit less than 3 ...yummyhoney wrote: »i;m making pizza dough in my breadmeaker but cant understand the recipe,,can someone help please,, what exactly does 23/4 cups mean???
drinking chocolate is a mixture of cocoa and sugar, so personally I would replace some of the sugar with drinking chocolate to make sure it's chocolatey enough and not too sweet. Please don't ask me how much, if you post the quantities someone else might hazard a guess.yummyhoney wrote: »also i want to make a chocolate cake and have no cocoa,,ccan i use hot chocolate instead??
I don't think it will be a disaster even if you make a straight swap of drinking choc for cocoa, btw.Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
