This is it. I don't have a food processor or a blender. really want to cook some home made bread but the problem is when I too I want to eat all of it :)and too much doesn't agree with me.

Sweet little girl.

i think i used to eat like this more, ie leftovers made into other things etc, bit more difficult atm but it's handy, might not quite serve the size of portions but similar ideas,

i am glad they did the program tho as it has been a major discussion point on the board and if it helps families who aren't mse save some money and change their ways then yipppppeeee

I loved it when they told the little girl they got the broccoli from the fairies at the bottom of the garden - Brilliant LOL

Not sure if this is just me being a prude, but I was a bit shocked when the Headteacher said something like "I don't usually get to see a bird on her back" when they were stripping the chicken!! :eek:

I took it as the tongue in cheek comment I'm sure it was meant to be (especially given the family make-up), but have to admit even I was suprised it was left in the footage to be aired.

I did laugh when he said it but I just thought it was a bit risque for early evening viewing - omg I really do sound like a prude now ...

As I am poorly, I've spent the day reading this entire thread and have been well entertained:T. Thanks for the Jackie brownie recipe (sorry, can't remember who posted) threw it together tonight for OH and cooked it in 25mins in my remoska - great sucess.
Will catch up on last episode on iplayer tomorrow. Now the dilemma on whether to get the book...:D

Oooh i must say i thoroughly enjoyed tonights episode:T:T

Loved the family i thought they were super and how lovely that they showed that a family doesnt justy have to be standard mum and dad etc and need help with food:T:T:T.

The recipes looked nice i do fancy trying the chicken and the escalopes and thai curry it looked yum and also the lemon cream:j:j

But....i couldn't believe the price for that bit off beef and chicken breasts am i right did the butcher say £42 omg lol i know the guy said it was 4 chick breasts for £9 so that made the beef £31 ouch that's a pricey hunk of meat there;). The chicken breasts looked so juicy and meaty though i thought they were a good buy for the price.


I think the star of the show was the cute little girl awww she was adorable:D:D:D:D

Am sad now that it has ended but i think it has left a legacy of sorts and i do think all over the uk it has helped families who are struggling with their budgets....roll on another series perhaps a christmas EG please Allegra and Paul if you are reading. I would adore to learn how to make those expensive luxurious at christmas become EG :beer:
