Your wish is my command!

Starting with 200g of no knead dough ( not the B+S one but I dont think it will matter).

This makes about 13 bread sticks, if you roll it out then cut it. I think if you rolled it, then spread on filling , then rolled it up like a swiss roll, then cut it, you might get 2 more per batch. I think there could be an issue with that though, as they then become 1 bite each pinwheels, so easy to eat more. The long ones are several bites, which might feel like more IYSWIM?

I have done half cheese and mustard and half garlic butter. For a whole batch like this, I would have used 1/2 tsp mustard and 20g cheese or 10g butter and a tiny bit of garlic.

They are proving now ( I thought a good prove might puff them more a make them look more substantial :-)) and I will report back later.

I wasn't sure what else might be available from the shopping list, so just used things I knew we had.

Right, only me and DS1 here today.

verdict is, yes long is better and feels like more.

Garlic ones are nom. Probably 3 is a serving.

Cheese and mustard are also nom,however, they scream out for some kind of dip/sauce we both thought.

So, some definite possibilities there, and no doubt some other possible toppings across the 3 planners.

QOS! superb!

That's amazing! Well done you In a gazzillion years I wouldn't have thought of it. I'm so pleased, they will be lovely.

When I posted Mr Aless' savoury bites I said to DH I was frustrated with myself because I feel like all the photos I'm putting up at the moment are all for things which are tasty, but are something in a bowl or something patty-shaped :rotfl:

Lesley thanks loads for your project management post. That's so helpful, I particularly like the way there are nice clear easy steps for me to follow.

*weezl wonders how much she would need to pay Lesley to write her a step-by step day planner to manage to get 2 very small boys clean, fed, safe and well each day*:D

Shanks, great news about ex cooking the alfredo, and it being a really good recipe to follow without having done a roux before. All credit to Howlin, whose well-thought through method it is. Also thanks for my very sweet PM I love roses!

ariarnia that's interesting about the presentation. You'd more want a booklet than a website?

I'm just checking cos I'd envisaged something useful as being web-based, so that from each page you can easily click on the next thing you need to know, according to interest, ie what's the nutrition of this recipe I'm looking at? Or what's on the meal planner for next thursday because it's Bob's birthday....

I have thought about this incidentally, and I thought we could suggest that Shirley asks all the family to say their favourite recipe and then she could just swap that whole day with another whole day to make sure people's birthday tea is still nice

In my head, Bob has the roast chicken on his birthday and Jenny has the veggie burgers :rotfl:

susan, thanks that would be great.

murrell hello! re the cornmeal, did we go for the 350mg CA or are we thinking that's for one which has been treated to avoid pellagra and is only sold in the states?

Aless, as you are from the deep south, can you shed any light here?

ok, some urgent tasks given how close we are to having a Bob and Shirley plan to run with for our tester month:

the stuffing for with the roast dinner. I'd be hugely grateful if a few could test this please
itself contains no meat or dairy, so as long as you have something to put with it, vegetarian and vegan testers are most welcome!

Please could someone put together Shirley's seasonings shopping list using mysupermarket, shopping at asda, and getting larger amounts of things where to do so will save Shirley money. This will then give us a price.

My definites/hopes are that it can manage to contain salt, black pepper, garam masala, chilli, garlic powder/granules, mustard powder, stock cubes, marmite
