Diet help
I've developed an allergy to a food and have been told that if I don't find out what it is the reaction will just keep getting worse until I end up being hospitalised. I've got to cut things out of my diet and just stick to non processed foods but I'm not too great with vegetables and wouldn't know what to do with quite a…

lopka - identify this cut of pork?
Hi all :) I was in the butchers and saw this pork cut on display. The girl on the counter said it was a polish cut. Has anyone ever cooked with it? It looked like hand-sized variable shaped pieces and was £2.99 a kilo. Was wondering if it's a slow cook cut? It was next to the offal which makes me think maybe it is? I tried…

HM ice cream help
I've tried to make ice cream for the first time today following a Hugh F-W recipe. Whilst we could eat it, it had a slightly grainy texture. Any ideas as to why?

Food bank items
We have reluctantly started a food bank - yes I am very ambivalent about the politics of it - but there is a lot of need in our rural area. We are not part of the national network of food banks mainly because of the cost of joining it. We offer food boxes 2 x a week. We have had referrals even before we started. I am after…

I need a jam mentor
It seems that, no matter what I do, I can't get jam to set the first time around. :mad: [ sigh ] Last weekend, I made rosehip jelly. Used a ratio of 1lb of pectin-filled jam sugar to 1 pint of liquid. Stuck my jam-thermometer in the liquid and bought it up to temperature (I'll swear it was at temperature). Prior to it…

Remove White paint on mental sink?
Hi. Any suggestions for removing white paint from a metal sink? I've tried white spirits and just scrubbing it but it's not for budging. Was going to get a new one cause it's driving me crazy but that's surely a waste of money I'll try any suggestions. Thanks

How to untangle a necklace?
Sorry if this is off topic but it could save me some money instead of buying a new one so it a bit thrifty! I recently bought a necklace from etsy but the chain was very thin and when it arrived it was tangled into a knot. I can't get it untied for trying but was wondering if this is a common occurrence with thin neck…
