Beef Brisket help
Hello, We have a freezer full of beef - I've worked my way through all the good stuff and have now been left with a LOT of brisket. I've tried slow roasting it and it just tasted so stringy. Does anyone have any tried and tested fab recipes they could recommend? I'd be very grateful!

New OCADO website and app
Has anyone else been on these yet? Anyone know if they have the last page of checkout of 40% offers. I haven't seen any yet. I depend on these for good value meat. Our good butcher in town has closed too. Going to have to look for alternatives!
JANUARY PANTRY CHALLENGE
Is anyone else doing a January Pantry Challenge? Another year has gone by and I've started my January Pantry Challenge again. Inspired by the vlogger Three Rivers Homestead on Youtube. You can set your own rules, but the general idea is to use what you already have in your pantry/freezer and to find where the gaps are in…

Weekly Flylady Thread 3rd March 2025
WELCOME TO SPRING I thought I'd do the lists a little different this week

needs doing for you…

Good morning - it's been wild outside all night.
I'm back! Trying to spend less on food!
Last October I started a thread to see how long i could last on the £187.15 that i had left of my shopping budget for the year. I did this mainly to keep myself accountable.
