Penny Pincher: Hope you are feeling better soon (((hug))). I know what you mean about worrying your mum, but she would be more upset if she found out afterwards that you hadn't told her. Make sure you rest and look after yourself xxx

We have quite a few courgettes to use up and I have a good soup recipe but there is only so much soup we can eat so I'll be looking for other recipes today.

Another recipe we use courgette in are rostis ... we grate the courgette along with the potato ... squeeze out the moisture ... sometime mix with just butter and salt and pepper ... sometimes add some spices like curry powder etc make into burger shapes and fry or spread out on a baking sheet oven cook then grill nice with a poached egg

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T:T:T:T That's really cheered me up, thank you Your cat can OS :rotfl::rotfl: He'll be using next-door remoska next

Happy birthday tired mum - hope you have a great day

Sunnyday

Hi peeps,

Fairy elephant - the cat & potato story really made me chuckle i shall be thinking about that one all day. The worst thing that one of our previous cats used to bring in was worms :eek: she would sit for ages and watch them before i scooped them up and threw them back outside, why she couldn`t just watch them outdoors i shall never know.

Pen Pin - Aw sorry to hear that you have swine flu, lots of my friends have had it and its really horrible, hope that you recover soon. A guy at work has had all his family poorly with it but remarkably he never caught it from them.

Chickadee :wave: Mrs Mcawber has a lovely courgette teabread recipe posted about somewhere, i think its on the recipe index for the grocery challenge.

I`ve just scrubbed the living room light fitting and i`m really pleased with it, it looks brand new and i`m sure the room will seem brighter now that all the blbs and shades have been washed.

Back later guys.

:mad: at Ikea I have no oven and they want me to fork out 85 quid for a report for the oven from a spoecific supplier . have to look at the money first and see exactly when we can afford it. They will refund it , i SPOUTED A LOAD OF LEGAL JARGON AT THEM oops from Consumer direct and it got somewhere at least .

Good afternooon everyone. Big ((((((((hugs)))))))))) to everyone in need of them.
Been slaving over the cooker this morning, producing the following:
5 litres of chicken stock from yesterday's carcass
Roasted Med vegetable soup from fridge/freezer oddments (had some for lunch - lovely)
Big dish of chicken,vegetable and potato crumble (from fridge/freezer oddments again) - should do for 6 portions if I pack it away before DH sees it.
1 smashed Pyrex casserole dish (boo hiss):mad:
It's gorgeous outside, so I'd better get the washing sorted out fairly sharpish before I haunt the charity shops for a replacement Pyrex casserole dish.
Little cat's antics sound like the elder mog belonging to my fairy goddaughter's mum. Fergus seems to be vegetarian, as all he's ever brought in are veg peelings and cabbage leaves!

Afternoon all

Before I forget to say it, Happy Birthday TiredMum.

LOL at little cat! Some of them do go for dead things, and some even stranger stuff.....one of my old ones, sadly no longer with us, used to bring in lots of odd things (mouldy bread, shoelaces, dead flowers....) but one of the funniest was when I heard him really struggling with the cat-flap....went out to the kitchen and found that he had managed to bring in....a jacket potato, warm, with foil around it and dripping with butter!!!!! I never got the nerve to ask my neighbours which of them had lost their lunch..........

LOL Maybe he was trying to do his bit to be MSE and find some free lunch for you.

LameWolf - Hope you've recovered from your fall.

Thanks, yeah, I'm OK. Legs are still a tad purple, but no major harm done:o No-one saw me do it, so no damage to my dignity.:D

The GP came out last night and confirmed I have Swine Flu.

Awwww, Pen-Pin that's horrible for you.:( I wish you a speedy recovery.
Likewise Hilstep, sorry to read that you've got shingles.
Take care of yourselves, both of you.

Little canine guest has appropriated the sofa for her very own! She's a sweet little lass, but quite hard work; being blind, I have to watch that she doesn't walk into things and hurt herself. She seems to have the route from the back door, through the kitchen, to the lounge sussed out, though.

((((HUGS)))) to all who want/need one today.

Afternoon all,

Happy birthday Tired Mum:bdaycake:hope you enjoy every minute.

Hilstep....sorry to hear about shingles, I currently have a huge coldsore, which is of the same family I think and find that Lysine helps, although if you are on meds from your doctor might be wise to check with him/her.

PenPin....you really could have done without SF....take it easy, I hope you recover quickly.

Have had no lunch yet, thought I might get away with just some fruit, doesn't look like it as I am feeling hungry now...have enough blubber to feed me for a year but it doesn't seem to work that way!

DD4 is making curry for dinner, have some cooked chicken in freezer, want to make some crusty bread to have with it....better get on now.

Hugs to all who are in need or one for whatever reason, welcome to newbies, get well soon all who are ill and come back soon all who are missing in action.

Hillstep hows the rash? hope your feeling better

FE :rotfl::rotfl:at the cat

hester I watched the future of food- very interesting makes you realise the cost implications to the pocket and to the planet.
it was interesting that they analysed a highly processed diet ( iceland lasagne baked beans and potato waffles) and a diet made from fresh produce and cooked from scratch. not surprisingly they found the latter is much better for health ( well we all know that ) the processed foods were alarmingly high in palm oil and salts/ sugars :eek:
I would be very interested in your costings of a homemade lasagne would you post the results on here?
