I wonder if I can do this for one month

Huh both the shops that you have mentioned are out of bounds, we have no ASDA in this town, we do have Aldi but it is WAY over the other side of town, two bus rides away. So really not worth the travel.

Thanks for the recipe, I may make it for the OH and see if he likes it (I can't have gluten, although I guess I can substitute the bulgar wheat with oats?)

any woopsies today?

Nnnnoooo that would be horrible. Can you eat cous cous, or even barley, obviously the cooking would be for barley rather than the bulgar wheat.

I did as it happens but not Veg well a cabbage for 30p but thats all.
but I got T bags, sugar, bread, donuts, hippy tea, brazil nuts, shredded wheat, and bran flakes so VERY worth the trip.

no I can't eat either of those things *cries* I think out of all the foods I had to cut out, gluten has been the hardest one to quit.

I didn't even know things like tea bags and sugar went on woopsie!! well done!

Rained a lot of the day here so the snow has almost completely gone. There was very little snow in Eastbourne (funeral setting) by the time we got there and almost none when we left - so now to the less fun bit of winter watching the nights get longer - yes I know, I am odd! I just LOVE winter. I put it down to being a December babe, that was born on a snowy day ( the only time it has ever snowed on my b/day!) and spent the first 4 weeks of my life seeing the lights and decos of Christmas! So need to move to your area SF. I need MORE SNOW!

Tomorrow I intend to go whoopsie shopping. I have no idea of the best times round here, probably between 5 and 6.30 just to spite me ( I work from 1-6.30). So I am go to try Mr A and Mr S, maybe Mr L to see what I can get.

OMG I lived in Eastbourne for 8 years!! Glad to know that the weather is ok down there.

hey, we haven't heard from you for a while, are you ok?

Alison_Funnell

I was thinking exactly the same thing Pink. Hopefully SF has just been swept off to somewhere lovely by you know who .

OW How I wish......I have been no further than my unmade bed for the last couple of days.

I might add here that as my two had to fend for them selves for the last couple of days not a veg has been touched, well, not totally true they did have a slither of cucumber or two on marmite sandwiches, but that is IT.
That said nothing has gone bad, OK so a cabbage really needs using, you can see that it has had better days, but I would put money on having it for about a week now.

Ow yeah, PN I was thinking about the bake thing, did you tell me that you had some mung beans lurking? They would work OK.

we always have loads of mung beans... but mung beans instead of bulgar wheat? really?
