50p a day til Christmas - healthily?! Weezl's next challenge...

I think my local butcher might go that way too - he's only recently taken over the place but the last time I went in there he hardly had any meat. He's a bit of a misery guts too! I'd better go there while I can hadn't I?

I'm going to try to find some recipes for trotters - I don't think my girls would eat them if I just served them up whole. don't think i'd be so keen myself to be honest...

I was thinking of buying a head of a pig. Having watched Giles coren and sue perkins eat one on supersizers go... Mr Weezl is up for it too!

Carrie B I won't show him the tom parker-bowles bit yet!:eek:

Penny-Pincher!! Hiya, I think curries with lentils are higher in protein than those with chick peas, But I'll do more redsearch and get back to you....What a shame about the spinach, that's such a good super-food.

I'm ever so sorry every one, but I think my brain was a bit slow when I did the index! A gentle friend has PMd to say which ones don't work;), and I shall sort those out tomorrow morning, when my brain is a bit better!

Ok a recipe from heaven from me...sorry weel as I know its out of budget for you as contains bacon but...make potatoe bread (brown!), fry bacon, butter bread (lightly if on SW as a SPECIAL trauma day treat!) and put marmalade on (own made is best!) and then put hot, crispy bacon in and eat! The bacon melts the marmalade & butter which compliments the crispy bacon. Heaven. Costings? umm no idea but whatever it is its worth every penny and the pig was a delicious happy pig so all good although a tad more expensive than the unhappy pig would be! Havent had time to do the pate swdising but will post try tom or at weekend as have a free one so more time!

Growing a family, have you got any raspberry bushes locally? A tea made with the leaves might help the baby along? x

ISOM your sandwich sounds heavenly when are we going to flirt with your butcher for scraps of odd offal?


still no luck on cheap compost, Cardiff council have stopped selling it for about a year til they've finished building work, and my freecycle ad came to nowt. Will have to get my thinking cap on!

Weezl I am more than happy for you to flirt with the butcher on Sat! I look forward to watching you in flirtaiou "got a spare pig head me lovely" action BUT I can tell you now I'm not eating it or pigs anus for that matter! Clearly you & Mr Weezl are well matched...was going to say boinkers the pair of you but then realised that that sounded almost as wrong as your fanny craddock comment!

Okey dokey, now I was going to start a new thread but I'm glued on this one at the moment and am desperate to live very very cheaply over the next week (at least!). I've got £10 to last me, food-wise, till Tuesday so shouldn't be a problem for you lot, but I'm struggling for ideas. There's me and OH and 3 kids, although one is 16 and eats more than me.

I have:

14 chicken breasts (Jeez, sick of chicken since OH found out about his high chorlesterol...)
12 sausages
10 lamb chops flavoured with Morrocan stuff (frozen)
1/2 bag of onion rings
Bag frozen peas
Bag frozen brussels (sp?)
Jar of jerk paste
1/2 jar of Pataks tikka masala paste
1/2 jar of Pakaks korma paste
practially every herb and spice there is

Help?
