Hi Curly, could I possibly have the recipe for your Baked bean loaf, that sounds like just what I've been looking for recently (trying to cut down on our meat intake!)

I really want to get into this meal planning business but need a few more recipes under my belt before I dare publish what we eat!!

Ooooh! Vixtress hope you enjoyed the mussels with pancetta. I wish I could eat mussels but they really look the most revolting things. I know they are revered in some countries but I just cannot bring myself to eat them straight from the shells. _pale_

I'm only posting to say that I hope that you will be serving your haggis with some mashed tatties and some neeps. You really can't enjoy haggis any other way (well without bringing whisky into it.

) I just luuuuuuurve mashed potatoes with mashed turnip mixed through. Yum, yum.

Think I will go out and buy some haggis tomorrow.

Hi Victotoro, glad to see a fellow de-lurker! (and a fellow non-meat eater too? Although I am a sometimes-fish-eater these days)
