I am in the middle of an Italian 'thing' at the moment where I am cooking lots of Italian dishes. I have a Tesco order ready for delivery next week - anyway - after years of reading this forum I thought I'd check my cupboards.
Yes you've guessed it - eeek 6 tins of tomato puree, numerous things I had already put on the list (I had put x4 tins on the list) - cannelloni, lasagne sheets etc etc.
I also borrowed some library books - and enjoyed them so had second hand ones on my amazon wish list - again - thought I'd just check the cookery books I already have (too embarrassing to tell you how many) and the recipes were in the ones I have......I'm on the naughty step.
