Thanks for adding that link: IIRC that is the minimum recommended in the 1994 COMA report. The Food Standards Agency translates the evidence as one to four portions of oily fish per person per week.

Weezl74 would it help if I tried to frugalise/ cost up a couple of oily fish recipes using your Asda shopping list or am I jumping the gun?

yes please firefox

I have also realised that asda veg oil is 100% rapeseed oil, so if we swap for that, that's really good on the omega front? How much veg oil would be needed daily?

If someone didn't mind clicking reply to this post and then inserting the cost per portion that's mentioned in each of the linkies, I'd be forever in your debt! I've been up since 3 am now and I have to lie down because I hurt everywhere!

apple curd spread for breakfast toast
thick onion tart (like an oniony quiche, delia originally)
weetabix loaf
pasta puttanesca
cauliflower cheese with green bean and beetroot salad

allegra's risi e bisi
carrot cake

ISOM, I have packed a fergie bag for when labour starts and half of mine and made headway on pool hire and lots of Bob and shirley food is being squirrelled away in 2nd freezer ready for Kester coming:)

ISOM, I have packed a fergie bag for when labour starts and half of mine and made headway on pool hire and lots of Bob and shirley food is being squirrelled away in 2nd freezer ready for Kester coming:)

Have to keep ISOM's blood pressure down. And Auntie Ceridwen too

Dont you worry about me our Weezl for one - my blood pressure is actually on the low side (for all that temper I have:)).

But I'm telling you now - ISOM and I have just been having a long chat on t'phone and (amongst other topics) expressing mutual concern to each other about your welfare:) - so you could be in for a "flanker" - ISOM to the left and ceridwen to the right shepherding you gently in the direction we think appropriate right now:D

:rotfl::rotfl: i would say more- but am not lowering the tone.

Glad ISOM and Ceridwen are ganging up a bit- I am sure there will be fights for kisses and cuddles of new baby-:D

But only after they have made you rest. Tut, tut:p x

....Anyrate thanks to another member of the "HOW do they manage on so little sleep?" club:) for dealing with the surveys.

hi nopot - I see you've fixed the above glitch. but there's the same problem on the question "how often would you eat this" - survey won't accept the same answer for more than one family member.

thanks for doing the surveys - they are very straightforward to fill out but I wouldn't have a clue about creating one.

Hmmmm...
I am not so sure if they are helping or not *confused* ????????
I was thinking about this after doing the sweetcorn fritter one last night, and, I am not sure, but maybe a survey for every recipe might be a bit of overkill ???????????

I can crack on an get them done though, if thats what is wanted

Edit... all 3 surveys have been checked again, so they shold all work properly now

ariarnia

Would someone mind posting a basic explanation as to the method for cooking the most recent recipes?

I assume for example most people know how to make the home made pizza from the ingredients, but I've honestly got no idea- I've never made bread in my life. I'd like to try though...

Unless it's due to follow anyway - at which point sorry for being impatient.

HM Pizza and tomato sauce ingredients and costings, this is for a double batch, shirley will freeze half





Ingredients

For the dough
1 sachet dried yeast 5p
1 tsp salt
pinch sugar
1500g bread flour 61p
drizzle oil, plus extra for greasing 5p
1 litre lukewarm water
For the tomato sauce
320g onions, sliced into rings 13p
garlic paste lots! 15p
5 cans chopped tomatoes £1.65
freshly ground black pepper

How many pizzas does this make? I make 4 dinnerplate sized ones (well, no, they're about 10X8" as I make them rectangular and put 2 on a tray. I use 500g flour for the dough. My dh and ds eat one each. DD will usually eat half hers the next day. Neither of them is a big bloke, but on the other hand the pizzas are as comparative in size to supermarket reasonable quality ones. We don't get pizza shop (dominoes etc) ones to compare with those.
