Hi ISOM

I'm keeping on trucking....and keeping on trucking......ad infinitum. 'Tis next winter (after I come off my fixed price deal) where I'm planning on cutting back noticeably heating-wise if things havent improved by then so to say. I'm getting in training at the moment - cutting back a bit.

Working my way into growing food - still finding out whats what and getting what I need. Got me a 2nd blog on this now:

http://mygardeningnotes.blogspot.com/

where I'm noting down all useful/interesting/encouraging stuff as I come across it.

Are you all fully healthy again after that Op. of yours?

Thanks for that lightisfading - duly copied down. Reckon I could use a bit of Marmite instead of veggie worcester sauce - as I always have that in (remnants of 1960s style vegetarian cooking - with its 3 basic flavourings: Marmite, curry powder and tomato puree!).

ahh the worcester isn't vital anyway - we just chuck in whatever comes to hand OH has a bit of a 'Bloody Mary' obsession so we allllways have veggie worcester sauce lol.

Hi all, hope all is well in weezl land! Just a quick question!!! Can i freeze mushrooms?? If so, do i need to do anything with them first? They will just be used for bolognaise or stew. Thanks x x x

Hi Bashful

Well - I do. I chop them up and saute very slightly (till just soft) in oil or butter and then put them in containers in the freezer.

Well - seems to work for me and be suitable for the sort of purpose you mention.

BASHFUL_2

oooh thanks so much ceridwen...will be wasting no more mushrooms :-)

Hiya peeps!!:D

I am so pleased to see that thsi thread is (kind of!) still going! the veggie stew sounds delish and will be trying that one for def!!
I spotted today in "the Works" bookshop that they were selling 3 packets of veg SEEDS! for £1. Doesn;t really help me as I have no garden due to having an apartment in the city BUT I thought it might help one or two of you guys
Hope everyone is all well?!
Hugs! :smileyhea
