Bored with food
Like many people I tend to stick to a repertoire. But now I'm a) bored with it b) want us to eat less meat My OH would eat nothing but meat and rice, meat and pasta or meat and potatoes.

OS food processor help needed, oh wise ones.
Which is the false economy here? I have been thinking about getting a food processor for a while, and have been eyeing up a magimix 3200xl. (Yes it's definitely a case of want as well as need.) I have been donated a still working Moulinex maxima which is at least 35 years old and which I have test driven for the first time…

Clothes worn for only a couple of hours...
....like a shirt, top, sweater. And then discarded for a change of clothes for some reason. Do you put them in the laundry bin or hold them back for another wearing before they go to the wash? And do they go back in the drawer, wardrobe, or are they kept out to remind you they're due for another wearing? I'm not…

Baking Sandwich Bread - help needed
My normal bread turns out great: whether it's an ordinary loaf, a bloomer or whatever Recently I've tried baking sandwich bread in a Pullman tin, it's the same quantities I use for the above breads but when baked the bread sticks to the bottom and the sides of the tin. Even after allowing the tin to cool I've difficulty in…

Chocolate mousse help - quickly please
Hi guys, So this doesn't happen to me, ever. I follow recipes and things work. Although I'm a little bit all over the place at the minute so I might be doing something really stupid.

Fermenting Foods
It looks like this is going to be the very trendy next big thing. It's even being talked about on the Archers. But in fact it's old style... I remember my mum salting beans from the garden in pre freezer days. Lakeland are selling some fermenting jars and I have started with a courgette kraut (I have more courgettes than…

How do you list your storecupboard items
Hello all, Basically what the title says. As I'm moving forward in my OS'ing ways I'm wanting to start keeping a master list of all my cupboards and wondered how everyone else does it. If I do it by hand I can see myself having books and books of stuff if I have something which stays for a long time. Thank you for reading,…

No "T" words mentioned at all - the continuation thread
At the suggestion of our very sensible friend Lyn (and since the gremlins have been at work deleting threads on the Old Style forum) I've started a shiny fresh new "T" word thread. Hopefully starting again will avoid us vanishing overnight (although if I could reappear as a a more streamlined version I'd consider vanishing…
