I don't have room in my (small) chest freezer until Easter when the duck, lobsters and bits of fish/seafood I've been accumulating for soupe de poissons, are removed. But I will look out for that, thanks !0

Good Morning,
Happy Mothers Day!!! DD burst in my room at 6.30am shoving cards & presents in my face lol, even a balloon :eek: How on earth she hid a balloon without me knowing I have no idea lol
Kirri I did indeed resist the muffins, they are now looking pretty on a stand with a bow waiting for mum who's coming over for lunch
Breakfast was last of the rice krispies (yay another box gone) dd had other cereal
Lunch will be a chicken dinner with swede, carrots, savoy cabbage, roasties, stuffing & yorkshires
Chicken is roasting as I type, it smells great
Dinner will prob be a boiled egg for dd, I doubt I'll have anything after lunch maybe a slice of toast this evening
Another great haul Lyndsey!!
Have a lovely day all if you're a mum or not

Spent the afternoon making a load of goodies including gajrela (http://desirecipes.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/gajar-ka-halwa-or-gajrela/) /QUOTE]
That looks amazing :T What sort of quantities does it make please? Would love to do it for my parents
NSD yesterday or today. Round at my mum & dad's for mothers day. My brother's cooking roast pork, with apple cake to follow :T0 -
Thanks Lynsey, it's been a difficult week, I just feel I am being totally ripped off, I am paying almost as much as a relative who has been driving for 1 year!!! Anyway not much I can do about it.. Just hope it goes through the MOT but with my luck probably not!!
I know the feeling Kirri, I have been driving for 18 years with no accidents or points (touch wood) and feel I am being ripped off. When I first passed my test I had my own insurance for years. I left work on maternity leave and my ex-husband and I only had one car then so I was a named driver on his insurance. When I left him and got my own car I took out my own insurance and they charged me as if I was a first time driver as I had lost my own no claims bonus. I was well miffed :mad:

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers on MSE.
Had annual sight test done this morning, chose new glasses and prescription sunglasses this time - got to go back to get contact lenses sorted tho.
Suggested pub lunch to OH and thankfully we missed the Mumday rush. Wiltshire ham, fried free range eggs and salad watching Aussie GP.
OH gone to Sainsbo's to pick up dinner and DVD.0 -

That amount does last a long time as you only eat a small amount at a time, alternatively you can freeze it. I would suggest reducing the grated carrots until they are really red, and then adding sugar to taste as carrots are naturally sweet anyway. I tend to add a lot less sugar but my parents compensate by warming it and then dousing it with double cream; I prefer it warm with vanilla Carte D'Or.
Had a marathon cook-in today! Made a load of food today so my parents won't have to do much when they get back, and got the deep fryer out for the first time in years! Made piles and piles of broccoli and baby spinach pakoras using some chickpea flour that had been hiding at the back of cupboard for years! Unfortunately my falafel (which I had intended to make in bulk and freeze) were a disaster - I think the mixture was too loose despite following the recipe - which meant that they started to break up in the oil . I fried about a quarter of the mixture before deciding to give up on them - mixed the cooked ones back into the uncooked mixture, piled it into a loaf tin and baked to create a chick-pea loaf. I think I'll freeze it in individual slices and eat with salad as and when.
Then cleaned the house throughly including mopping and polishing the floors which I hate . Knackered but chilling now .Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Kirri - reporting back on the Almond biscuit recipe before it slips my mind. Absolutely lovely. However, for some reason they didn't spread ... Would you have any idea why? I'll be using the recipe again for sure.
Now pondering about using frozen spinach to make a quiche ... perhaps with mozarella ?0 -

Evening.
Busy day painting and cleaning and popped into John Lewis to pick up MY Mothers Days present..............a Polti steam cleaner. lol
On the way home I popped into Asda and bought a cooked large chicken for £2.15 for an easy tea..............good job they had something decent to eat as I couldn't have been bothered to make anything tonight!!
Strangely they were actually giving all the reduced bread etc. away for free, yes free. For every two packs you took they gave a smiley coupon thing to hand in (never seen that before).
I got 3 packs of hot cross buns, 2 x paves and a pack of crusty rolls.
Bought some bread flour and some crumble topping for those apples.
Celery also for 10p and some reduced milk sachets, handy for holiday and expiry date mid April.
£3.75 spent and gave some bread and hot cross buns away, had some crusty rolls with chicken and not freezing, so birds will have hot cross buns tomorrow for breakfast. lol
Chicken breast still there for tomorrow.
