Yes but I don't do recipes.
For what it's worth, boil a stock pot of new potatoes, broccoli, carrots, swede, red onion, peas and sprouts, fry tomato and onion with a bit of sugar, make up a pan of rice and lentils, and mix the lot together with some quorn mince.
Decant into multiples of a portion, then add gravy (from Bisto) and call it stew, or add co-op curry sauces as appropriate for each flavour.You're a posh 'un aren't you!
Apparently so. I'm certainly not trying to cut down on my spending because I can't afford it, I just want to save and invest more.Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!0 -
