Bought some at mr A's for 40p is this its normal price??? no offer labels on shelf

Anyone got any recipes for using it (other than the ones on pack)

Thinking of adding it to my stockpile but like to road test new items first


Shaz

probably a really dumb question but how do i start a new thread??

I love bisquick and use it alllllll the time!! I will put some recipes together for you if you wish. I will have to pop out and get some as it is usually around the pound mark at Mr A's.

Ok - now I know it doesn't smell I am taking small steps in the right direction !!!

Everytime someone mentions brains though I just get flashbacks to Hannibal

Also cooked some sausages to make sausage and bean casserole for dinner for me & kids,

Didn't have Sausage & Bean Casserole, ended up having a Teddies Bear Picnic with the girls in the living room (long story...!) so can I now freeze cooked sausages or how long will they survive in the fridge??

on the front page of old-style board in the top left, just above the titles of all the threads is a button called new thread, just click him and away you go!

Being veggie I don't quite fancy the pigs head but the story is making me want o laugh a lot at work.

This thread is amazing though. I had some freegan friends when I lived in Leeds and the things they'd forage from supermarket bins was fantastic. I'm all for finding the 10p bargains and using them. We're still using the stilton we froze at Christmas. We managed to get the equivalent of a massive round for 40p!

back to the story. While nice stand in butcher removed the eyes, we went for a coffee.

Hands him over later in a see-through bag. ISOM most peturbed. The bag is also leaking a bit of blood!

I'm given the car keys and an instruction to take him away, but the head and trotters are enormous and my arm muscles have gone all tremby, so poor ISOM has to come round and collect me, dripping in the car park!

Good job her car has lots of packs of wet wipes!

We return to mine, and the rest, as ISOM has charted is history....

Photo links coming up!

When it was just me and DD, I used to cook batches and freeze -- then defrost in fridge during the day, and heat in the microwave for tea when we got home on a work night. One way of getting her a 'proper' meal and to bed at a reasonable time.

(DD is now almost 25, so this would have been about 21 years ago -- and we're both still here to tell the tale )

only click here if you want to see what I've been up to this afternoon! You can then click on the images to enlarge them.

Just working out how to do captions!

Oh Weezl and ISOM!

Thanks for the running commentary (put me in mind of Kate Adie in a war zone )- I felt like I was there with you. We look forward to the next installment...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The gnocchi had a mixed reception. DD6 enjoyed rolling them into balls but just as I was serving up came into the kitchen and told me that she didn't want to eat them. She did eat a few as the alternative was...hunger! But then she did ask if she could have some nettles - strange child!

In all fairness it wasn't the best meal I've ever cooked. They were very heavy - I think I can feel them sticking to my ribs! Not that I mind a bit of stodge, but they might have been better with golden syrup rather than tomatoey sauce.

plum pie - it's the mash I made too much of. good idea to freeze in small portions, I'll be adding mash to everything next week won't I?

DH wants it on record that he liked the dinner!
