thanks sophiesmum, was thinking of making a large pot of rice pudding to freeze, would that do as dont really know many recipes that use milk? would it not taste funny?
think i really need to learn how to cook more from scratch......................

If you are going to do rice pud with it I would use half normal milk and half dried, should be fine then.

Sold my very first items on ebay :j Two more are up and there and hope to sell by next Sunday.

Got lots more to sell, but got to wait 30 days cos I'm a newbie seller ... oh great. Didn't realise there was a barrier for newbies, although I can see why.

Never mind, I'll look to sell stuff with a view to Valenitines pressies

Hey guys - Hi and waving
What alot of great lists today.............re baby milk, I use milk in my recipe in bread maker just a scoop, do you have a breadmaker? Otherwise cheese sau ces, custard, um quiche? Or just have it there for emergencies??

Put an old bottle red wine in the venison for stew which needs to sit for 24 hours in red wine and shallots - just need a bar of chocolate now (venison in red wine and chocolate) might need splurge onthe choccy as its got to be >70% shallots from garden venison £3 quid (bit pricey) but will do twice. Sounds outrageous..........

Treated myself to a pair of boots in town this morning , only £14.99 were reduced from £30, so saved a bit there, also got some bargain veggies in market spent £3.

Really annoyed when I went out this morning - someone had stolen all my hub caps:mad: :mad:which i paid £50 for at beginning of year , they had also broken off someone elses wing mirrors:mad: , not planning on replacing them whilst there is a chance they may go again so now have naked wheels and it looks really crappy:p

Fay - laughing at the bendy veg and old fruit:D my bendy veg is simmering nicely in slowcooker ready to dish up when x factor is on later;)

he he he - me too laughing - DD said 'oh is that how it looks before it is delicious?' poking at random bits of peppers, celery and onion etc - told her it would be fine. Now she knows thats were the celery ends up too - whoops she thought it was just peppers.

Pah to car louts - someone nicked my daisy last week - the one on the end of my campers aerial - it didnt cost much its just the point - grrr. Poor you - how annoying
