I have some mash that was left over 2 days ago and I meant to use it yesterday for potato cakes but didnt get a chance in the end.

superfast home-made mushy peas
Sorry if this recipe has been posted before. We were having fish and chips (home cooked ) for tea tonight and realised I didn't have any tins of mushy peas so thought I'd improvise.

What foods/drinks for 10hr car trip
Can anyone suggest what I should cook/buy for food/drink for a 10hr car trip please? I'm hoping to save on the very expensive (and yucky) 'restaurant' food they serve at service stations. The weather is cold and rainy so picnics are not a good idea. I've got a travel kettle to heat up water. A 2year-old will be on the trip…
