they need to get twink on the programme. .

My DD2 made twinks hob nobs tonight and they were lovely. My DD1 asked why they don't cook 'traybakes' as they are bigger and can be frozen...i'm glad to say i'm proud that they are learning from me (thanks to you all on here once again as i learnt from you lot).

See you all on this thread next week.

Though I'm intrigued. 21k next week - is it gonna get worse every week till the series ends? :think:

I'll be amazed if they do manage that!

21k, sheesh - how many is that for? :eek:

I don't know, but he said they waste a third (!!!) of what they buy.

7k down the drain straight away :undecided

That really is quite disgusting.

Oooh, didn't they do well!
Chicken dishes looked great - not convinced about the pasta beef dish though.
Remembered while watching that I used to make DH pasties when he was my BF but haven't done it for ages. I'm going to do them again and soon!
Anyone else pick up any tips or ideas?

another very enjoyable programme this evening. I wasn`t even going to watch the series but it is cooking with a difference. I loved that delightful family and I loved the fact that they were using good quality ingredients. Well done to them, particularly on getting their family values back on track

I missed the first half, and have just finished watching the rest, but can someone tell me what the main dish was for the week - that the "tumbledowns":rolleyes: came from? (I presume it was beef in some shape judging by the pasties?)
Thanks.

Oh, I know - I'm one of those! Shop at Morrisons, buy some decent brands and some organic/free range, plenty of areas I could still save a few pounds each week, but £330 is still 4 months food for me!

wow to feed a family of 5?

in fact I am enjoying it so much that I have bought the book from amazon. £9 in total

oh yes I did learn something new. Cut the garlic and put in oil and it will last a month in the fridge. That is very timely for me as I bought a largish net of garlics in costco the other day and am only half way through one bulb
