Potato & lentil curry for us tonight, v cheap and v tasty, even if I am using Patak curry paste! Found that the cheapest/easiest way to make nice curry. Always tempted to make Curry Queens curry but takes a bit of forward planning which I haven't managed to get round to yet, so Pataks paste it is!

Now you just know its an MSE rule;) that recipes have to be given at this point:D

Errr.....can we have the recipe purlease......:D


....and what I'm having tonight: one of my versions of spaghetti bolognaise - ie the one pretty similar to t'original - but using quorn mince instead AND of course a large bowl of green salad from my garden....

Thanks all who've posted what you're having for tea, it gives me inspiration!

The rest will be a massive corned beef hash done in the SC methinks...

saying hello:

I am quite new to the forum, and have spent the last couple of weeks trying to read all the threads on the challenges...

tonight I have had to give up as I was never seeing the end, I am sure you add more than I read in a night!!!

wanting to give a few things a try on my mse journey to becoming more frugal...

weezl: wanting to try your v cheap gnocci, do you still think asda sp instant mash is the way to go or now you have completed your challenge have you found something that tastes nicer

want to convert df on the idea of gnocci, not scare him for life...

although I like the idea of nettles and using them in food.

hints tips and ideas for a nettle sauce to go with the gnocci?

your all inspirations ladies and have enjoyed reading your stories

I got his birthday pressie yesterday...will take me that log to make it! Re corned beef hash...sorry but yeugh...used to have it at boarding school and even the smell makes me heave...suffice to say it was so gross that we smothered it in jam (the only thing available) just to make it edible...and I'm not exaggerating!

Whilst I was shopping the other day, I noticed the difference in the price between red lentils and the other colours of lentils... 5p per 100g in some cases... ...

I wondered if anyone has tried to make lentil pate, with lentils other than the red ones, and if so, how was it ??

Many thanks in advance

I'll come out from lurking! I have made this quite a lot with well (proberly slightly over) cooked brownish-green lentils. Not sure if its the same recepie I use lentils, oil, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper - no meaurements just blend lentils and add oil and other stuff till right consistency and flavour.

Made something very frugal for tea but not quite sure what to call it - based on chicken stock with the bits of meat from the bones, threw in some potatoes from the allotment and some leeks from the allotment that had been frozen, added a carrot and some lentils, some seasoning and a tablespoon of frozen wine, simmered until everything was tender then added half a pack of pasta for the last 10 minutes. It wasn't stew and it wasn't soup. Tasty, though. Had hm scones for afters with Greek yog instead of cream
