Sorry if this is a tangent but does anyone else have lettuce with teeny tiny barbs on the leaves? I was a little nervous that perhaps I have spawned Audrey III and I should be panicking...

:rotfl: Audrey III, this made me more than chuckle:D

Weezl & co, this is another fantastic thread, thankyou very much indeed for doing this challenge.
I`ve not read all the last one yet but i`m getting there:o

Great reading and i`m learning loads. Go Guys!!!

Thanks both - sorry missed it Weezl...threads so fast moving skim read a bit fast & missed the lovely geeky maths! An improvement but still a treat me thinks! Bob do you think the pot would be more SW healthy if it was brown bread instead of white...just a thought?
CW I'm not sure if my recipie can be machinised but here is a specific machine one - not tried & tested though as flogged me bread maker as like making it by hand now!

Hope that helps!

Yep i would use brown anyway..i think it will go nicely with potato. I have some Dove's organic brown flour which i have been thinking of using for something..am trying it tomorrow and will post piccies. It will also rise better due to extra vit c from potato...oo am a bit geeky as well:rolleyes:

Wish I understood all the Slimming World jargon now and I could help, but I'm afraid I'm no use, sorry!

BOB, let us know how the bread goes?

Ceridwen it's spooky isn't it, me and avocet's similarity? I thought my funny ole brain was one of a kind. Except perhaps my dear Dad

ISOM, will you ask your nice butcher, who fancies you;), next time you go (if planning a red day!) if he sells those, weird cuts of pig, like a whole head, and how much it'd be?

I will do an extra session of syn calculation just for you to recompense you:rotfl:. Only joking, I know that's not how you work!:D

Mr Weezl is away in Carlisle for a couple of days. He is very much looking forward to eating at the hotel's expense! If they have a buffet breakfast I feel very sorry for anyone who arrives at it after him!!!

Sleepy now, speak soon and lots of love,

Weezl, all 3 stores though are within 5 minutes drive of each other so although sounds alot in reality not.

I left home 9.45am got to first store 10.15am, did all three plus petrol filling and was home drinking a cuppa at 1.50pm, having put all items away.

I also live approx 15 miles (30 mins) from the stores.

just wanted to say thank you for such an inspirational and interesting thread

one thing and hope i'm not playing devils avocado but what happens if you "really" fancy something, like erm steak or trout or something?

the challenges i seem to face is when we see something nice being cooked on tv and end up buying things which are out of our normal spending plan for a meal. eg something where i mixed mozzarella with crab and wrapped it with salmon, pan fried to seal and served with a wasabi dip. delicious but it didn't fit that weeks budget!

I've given up watching all the cookery shows -- but I have to admit that not much they made appealed to me, and if it did then it was something at least half the rest of the family turned their noses up at

Have found I get on much better just going through cookery books and picking things where everyone eats the majority of the ingredients.

Steak - I've either used the 'reformed' type from Iceland (which everyone eats, even my youngest who isn't a lover of steak), or it has to wait until I've managed to buy enough in Whoopsies to cater for us all (freeze it as I buy it until I have enough, and even then it only gets used for special occasions !) Am actually planning on steak before elder son heads off to his army base on 20th (so probably 18th or 19th) as he loves it and we won't see him again until at least early December -- need enough for 4, and think I have for 3 in the freezer already. So I need to have a check of the position, and possibly buy one piece -- but still have over a week to try getting another Whoopsie before I give in and pay top whack for once.

Vampiric addiction, how's the saag, have you tasted it yet?

Yep! Took it to work as I hoped, and I really enjoyed it... Better than I'd have bought at work, and actually veggie (I don't trust work to manage to get vegetarian food right - i know someone who even found ham in a fruit salad at work once...).

Got home to find my mum has got some whoopsied bagels and mushrooms, sounds like a perfect brunch-y thing for tomorrow if ever there was one! (Then decided I was rather hungry (the things new shifts do to you (moved from 10-6 to 2-10, ouch)) and had some HM bread with lentil pate on! :money: )

How is everyone?
