Morning, I'll be back in a bit.

Hello. I'm looking for a small set of dishwasher safe pots and pans ideally available online. I'm generally only cooking for me but I do sometimes make a larger meal that lasts a few days.

Is there anywhere that is budget friendly for stocking up on baking and cooking ingredients, sugar, cooking chocolate dried beans etc?

OK so i didn't know where to go with this, but for the last 2+ years I and one other family member have been getting itchy welts/pimples occasionally rashes or maybe bites?

Morning all. 

I have some gift card money and I am thinking of buying a food processor. I have never had one before. I am disabled and standing for long periods to cook is difficult, so I thought maybe a food processor would speed things up and allow me to cook more fresh and healthy food, cheaply and quickly, as I often buy ready…

Morning all. I'm off soon, down to Glasgow again for an early dental appointment. Fingers crossed for no traffic jams like last week, it's school holidays here so should be fewer cars around. @Snoozer - 💕💕 hugs to all.
