Gluten free baking - recipe for curd loaf / muffins
Hi All, I didn't know where to post this in this forum so I thought this may be the better place for it. I recently acquired a nice tasting curd and have previously made non-GF curd loaf / muffins. I was wondering if anyone has a nice recipe for gluten free curd loaf or muffins. Thanks in advanced.

Ninja?
A friend raves about his Ninja multi cooker. What’s the collective wisdom? Is it worth the money ? Is it cheap to run? Is it too big for a singleton? Is it easy to use? Would it replace any of my existing gadgets (microwave, food processor, soup maker, toaster)?

Hate Waste
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but keeping lettuce in a sealed box (Tupperware type) in a fridge will prolong its life for several weeks. We buy iceberg and that will still be fresh for at least 3 weeks.

Changing to LED bulbs
I've got low energy light bulbs in my home all bought new when I moved in 3 years ago. Is it worth the outlay to buy LED equivalents and replace them all?

Dried apricots, not ready to eat
I am looking for old fashioned dried apricots that need soaking. I could only find the ready to eat version in my local Sainsbury. Are they still available and if so, which supermarket sells them.

Stains not coming out of washing, detergent or machine at fault?
Despite pre treating stains and washing on 30’ using Almat bio gel with stain light my stains are not coming out. I’m using a BEKO washing machine on a mixed fabric setting, not over loading.

How do proper grown ups grocery shop?
I have noticed (finally) that I grocery shop in the same way as I clothes shop - I buy items not outfits. Or, I buy bits of food not actual meals. I've never meal planned before as it always felt too hard with me & my husband working different shifts. I now work Monday to Friday 9-5 so really want to figure out the…

Antique freezer containers!
At this time of year I am busy processing produce from my veg patch, for the freezer, for use over the winter. I noticed that a competition closing date on one of my recycled buttery spread containers was 28th February 1991.
