Cant afford a magimix 3200 - any cheaper equivalents
As the title says I would like to buy a food processor, I have never really owned a decent one, I like the look of the Magimix 3200, I tried my mum's today and thought it was great. However, it is just too much for me to be able to justify spending. I like the shape and size as it would be perfect to leave out on the…

Preserving a pepper.
Not to eat, but thought this might be the best place to ask. Bear with me. Last night DH cut into a green pepper for our sweet and sour he was making for tea, and the markings on it look like a smiley face. Seriously. The way he cut into it, I've got two parts from the top of the pepper both looking like a smiley face…

Mince snob?
I normally buy Lean Scotch minced beef and find there is very little fat when browned off. DH came back from Lidl yesterday with several packs of their half price Minced Beef (£1 per 500 grms). I was thinking of using the cheaper mince for spag bol, lasagne and chilli - all of which have herbs and spices etc added when…

Help Required
So I crashed my car a couple of weeks ago and the insurance are in the process of fixing it. What that means for me is the £250 a month I would normally spend on food and going out is now paying my excess. I am looking for some help to feed myself (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for as little as possible. I do have the…

Unrisen bread rolls
Oh dear, so I've just spent ages making a batch of rolls and they have pretty much failed to rise, although they do look quite like the pic in the recipe so perhaps there may be an issue there too... They're ok but pretty dense, any ideas of what I can do with them, or is to a case of feeding time for the birds?
