Oaty snacks - cooking advice
I've been trying out a couple of the oaty snack recipes on the site as I wanted some lunchbox snacks that are vaguely nutritious (oats are good for you, just don't think too much about the sugar and fat!), but it's all going rather wrong. I tried http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=469504&postcount=100 but…

Sweet and Sour Pork in SC?
Due to the unprecendented success of doing joints of meat in the slow cooker, I wondered if anyone had a recipe for Sweet and Sour Pork for the SC.

Extreme moneysaving - milk!
Had this idea, don't know if it would work... I would not use much milk if it weren't for the kids, hate it on cereals, have porridge with water, and only a tiny bit in cups of tea. AH! The cup of tea. If you put milk into ice cube trays you could add one to your cuppa. I am going to try this just to see if it's ok, even…
