Evening all - yummy recipes bu none from me this week as trying to get the hang of slimming world so will post some slimming SW recipes when I get em! Lentils are free on green days! Thought of you weezl with a chuccle...mind you all that fruit & veg is having an impact - I darent bend down to pick up a pen & I did a big burp this pm (just slipped out & most unlike me lol!!) and told the outraged staff to be thankful it was JUST a burp :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ! Mr Weezl is coming to pick up unhealthy food in my house (yummy hm ice cream, butterkist toffee, kulfi (HM) popcorn, butter... to name a few) and perhaps you should warn him Weezl?!! Think it will put a few ibs on him - certainly did on me lol!!

Perhaps I should start saying in my breathiest voice:

'this is not just lentil pate..... this is freshly-soaked, lovingly roasted, lentil pate, with home grown garden herbs.....'

:rotfl: yes,yes you should put that on your blog weezl :T

OOOhh Avocet the first recipe

From lurkdom to stardom in a few days

The more the merrier i say i guess the POTM will increase attention

The coconut cake i linkied too the other day here

the weights are
1 cup sugar = 200g
1 cup dessicated coconut = 75g
1 cup milk = 250ml
1 cup flour = 250g

my calculations make that 50p per 2lb loaf (about 10 pieces or 8 fat ones) i think acetate monkey may get fattened yet:rotfl:


Shaz

I made this earlier on and it is gorgeous!!!! Half of it has all ready gone, kids couldnt get enough and OH who hates coconut :rolleyes: said it was lovely too.

How amazing! shaz's cake has converted Mr Outrageous Monkey to the delights of coconut :T:T:T

Shaz does the quantity you said do 1 x 2lb loaf tin of the coconut cake?

Well, day 3 of the challenge dawned greyly, but after successfully cooking 18 portions of jam sponge pud, a jar of grapefruit marmalade and some blackcurrant ice cream, I feel very productive!

Also I'm thrilled to bits because a very kind friend has begun to do a new diet;), and has very generously given us lots of things which don't fit the plan!:T

Lots will keep or freeze, but I've been putting my thinking cap on for the rest...

half a tub of creme fraiche and 150 ml of cream, that's gonna be an icecream using some of my lemon marmalade...:D

4 crumpets, use by yesterday, small and look great though! - Mr Weezl's next 2 breakfasts sorted (with a little muesli adjunct!).;)

2 packets of choc chips! will make and freeze some cookie dough with these in tomorrow...:j

OOOOh and there's ikea meatballs, cream sauce and lingonberry jam :T:T:T Good times.

Sometimes being a freegan is just so darned easy! :cool:

Very much love,

Weezl x

I love ikea meatballs and their cafe is almost cheap enough for the weezl's to eat in

Shaz - who wishes she was closer to Ikea and not an hours drive away(Leeds)

Hi could any one please tell a use for comfrey, I have loads sprouting in the garden whilst its great for getting the compost heap going, I would love to know if any one has any good ideas. Many thanks

weezl74

Hi eileen forward :rotfl:good username BTW,

there's a soup recipe here that looks nice, and it seems to behave and taste a bit like spinach, so maybe substitute for that in a few recipes??? How easy was it to grow? Did you start from seed?

Thanks shaz, I'll give that one a go when we've used up some of our other goodies

Love Weezl x

eileen_forward

Thanks weezl, the comfrey is a mystery to me. It just appeared. I like it because the bees love it. But it so invasive, I just pull it up when it gets too big and chop it up for the compost heap. At the moment it's even growing through crack in the paving slabs. I love this thread. I think you could right a book with the tips and recipies.

A friend of mine asked a chef (and I use that term losely) in Ikea how they made the cream sauce. He said the easiest way to make it is, instant gravy with a bit of cream added. I have done this myself cos we love Ikea meatballs. Its not quite the same but its cheaper than buying the dry mix packets of sauce.

Mr Weezle got SOOOO excited when the choc chips came out I was afeared of his reaction without his wife present :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: We had a giggle in the kitchen but I promise thats all it was Weezl...the ice cream would have melted and he knows how you hate waste:EasterBun heheheheheh!! Did he look like this when he returned?!! How many packs of choc chip remained & have you checked the car for wrappers?!!
