Dried beans ideas?
I have lots of (unflavoured/not in a sauce) tinned and dried beans of different types, plus lots of red lentils and packets of 'country soup mix' sitting in the back of my cupboard. I'm trying to increase my protein and fibre intake while also trying to stick to a budget and use up what I've got, so eating the beans I've…

Bulk buying to, hopefully, beat inflation.
Hello all, as the title says I'm hoping to beat inflation a bit. At the moment we are living on one state and five small private pensions. Total of around £1390 per month, plus any other bits we can make. Only the state pension and two of the private pensions are index linked, so in real terms our income is falling. I have…

2 questions: Spanakopita/clotted cream
I was gifted a sort of diy cream tea for Mothering Sunday (outrageously expensive for what it was, but that’s a different issue). Despite ladling huge unhealthy amounts of clotted cream onto the scones, I have half a container left over. What can I do with it? And spanakopita. Can I bake it a silicon mould or is it best to…

I have a exact replacement one, purchased a number of years ago, but can't find out how to remove the old one and fit the new one. Online searches have failed so I'm hoping the…
