Is it possible to make some with Oxo cubes, onions, flour, concentrated beef bouleion, butter? Those are the only ingredients I can think of that I have that might work. I've never made gravy…

Freezing Sponge Cake
Okay I made four because I was bored. I have sandwiched two together, but would like to freeze the other two. Just wrap in cling film and bung in freezer? And then just leave out for a while to thaw when I actually want to be greedy and eat it?:p

OS daily threads November 2006
I meal plan and meal plan like nobody's business, but then bf goes and invites his mates round to eat my food! I find this so annoying. There's one in particular who always come round. I have enough pasta sauce and bacon for two meals for me and bf, but now that he's invited his friend to stay for dinner, that's half of…

Washing pillows
A friend has passed on this tip to me which is very useful. I have always avoided washing pillows because when I came to dry them in the TD they became mangled and unuseable. She has suggested tacking around the edge of the pillow as well as a cross tack across the pillow so that the filling is secure. I did this today and…

I buy packets from Austria for goulash (I know, awful, but they taste great and you can't buy them over here).
