Puree Vegetables
A while ago I was off sick and thought it would be a good idea to make some soup. I am a er... adventurous cook, and tend to just make it up. 50% of the time everything works out ok. :rotfl: I ended up making puree vegetables. I have added so much stock to this stuff and its still really thick. I froze it, but now I need…

How about this for old style moneysaving.....
I have just found a whole book on Google books which you can either read online (there are 136 pages but the print is quite small and not many paragraphs!), or download as a pdf file to read at your leisure. It's called the American Frugal Housewife but it's from the early 1800's so will def be oldstyle moneysaving! I like…

which way to point knives on a magnetic rack?
Sorry this is a bit of a pathetic question. Which way up would you store knives on a magnetic rack? I have googled looking for an answer but have found some say handle on top and some handle beneath.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
I'm looking for a foolproof choc chip cookie recipe. Recently I have tried a number of recipes from the net and they all see to be a cross between a cake and a biscuit, but not in a good way, they are too crisp at the outside and too soft in the middle. I'm not interested in an american style soft, chewy cookie but just a…

Colourful Modular Chicken Coop
Hello! A couple of years ago I saw some amazing chicken coops at the Royal Show and I can't remember what the company was called. They were quite small plastic chicken houses that were suitable for small gardens, the words egg and pod come to mind but have been searching and can't find them. They were not particularly…
