Did someone mention cake....(ssh, don't tell my weight watchers leader!)

Well the coconut and lime are healthy right (we just won't mention the 12oz caster sugar...)

Today I chopped an entire value bag of peppers from Morrisons and froze them for using in pasta etc:o and made fresh mushroom and tarrragon soup for lunch...

Luc - silly question, do you just chop them up & then freeze them ?

Read back last night's thread...

Yay for Red Squirrel:j :j :j glad the space helped you work things through, that's magic.

If anyone is interested I have coffee sponge or sticky lime & coconut cake to share...

There's a lot of lights out though so I may just have to indulge alone...

Oooh that would go down a treat right now... could you let me have the recipe for the coffee cake please?xxx

Yep - in a bag per pepper. Never done it before buut I figured if they lose a bit of crunch they'll still be good for sauces/stews etc which is what we tend to have them in. I'd get fresh to use in salads/stirfry where I need a bit of crunch.

Next shop will have a big bag of onions and I'll do the same. I also grate carrots to freeze for using in soup/muffins etc. Food processor makes short work of them and for soups and casseroles you don't even need to defrost them before you bung them in the slow cooker;)

I'm (sort of) here Luc, been painting (again !)

I've got Lemon Drizzle cake & blackberry breakfast bars.

(And before Sammy makes a "you should be studying" comment, my books have arrived & I'm going to do a couple of hours this afternoon)

:T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T

And for a second there, I thought I was on the Old Style thread....:rotfl:

Tigz - its this one from the good food magazine

Pooky

Has anyone seen my motivation?

I've just sat and watched a lovely film, very sad but I love it...City of Angels.

DD1's got an inset day and has vanished into town with friends....DD2 is obviously feeling better as she's asking for food every 2 seconds.

Luc, I do that with my peppers, they seem to keep their crunch well.....unlike peppers that you buy pre-frozen that always seem to be soggy...

afternoon all!

Happy birthday to Erin, hope it's lovely and lots of fun!

It snowed here until around 9 last night and started to ice up quite badly - next door couldn't get their car up the driveway!.

A bit had gone this morning, but not enough to stop a rather dicey slide down the driveway for me, I heard myself thinking 'stop before the road!!!'

It's almost all gone now, but went to Bournemouth with some colleagues just before lunch and there is still loads there.

Teaching admin. this afternoon for next weeks classes, lets hope there is no more snow!


And yayyyyyyyyyy for £72 hitting my account from Quidco!

Luc as you seems to be quite good with knowing about freezing stuff, do you know if you can freeze potatoes and would you have to cook them first i have a bag of charlottes and a bag of roosters that i wont be using and i dont really want to theow them away.
