Hi Weezl I didnt use oil or egg in my Carbonara and it was fine like that. I followed your recipe but didnt need the 50ml oil as the bacon produced enough fat to cook in. In your shopping list you have down 7 blocks of lard. I bought 3 and still have 2 and a bit left over. Am i missing something?. Also the lemons are you now including cordial? cause if not i think they may be wasted. Sorry dont mean to tear your hard work to bits feel free to tell me to mind my own beeswax or other phrases of your choosing:rotfl:

hiya shanks,:) according to the spreadsheet, the lard gets used up in the 3 types of scones, the savoury bites and the raisin biscuits. I'm wondering if perhaps you made fewer of the snacks cos you don't cook for ex all the time?

Hi Weezl

I'd happily do it. It will probably be tomorrow evening before I can get started though.

The Chilli was a huge success tonight, I must admit to cowarding out 3/4 of way through adding all those onions though!

thanks keggie

was there enough with fewer onions? Not quite sure how many you cook for and how old they are, ie if younger than Jenny and Jason

thanks loads for any help with gas/elec conversion:A

Aless, by colour coding the recipes according to veggie/meat/vegan, did you mean like this:

weezl - something like that! It wasn't an "essential" just a suggestion to make visual organisation easier . Hope you didn't go to a lot of effort!

weezl74

arty, I understand that your mum and some friends are very web savvy.

If you feel they would have time/inclination to give any feedback on the site I'd be very grateful

ps: you asked about it's google ranking. Currently top of page 3 for the search term 'cheap family recipes'. Not bad for day 3 of existing! :eek:

Only had time to have a quick look, but from what I saw, the site looks fab Weezl. I especially like the minimalistic look of each recipe;

Title
Picture of finished recipe
Ingredients
Method
Picture of an ingredient from said recipe.

It's clear, uncluttered and uncomplicated while still being visually interesting.

So many web recipes appear either daunting or unappealing because of the way they're presented. I don't know who designed the site (sorry, I've not had chance to read all of this thread) but it looks very professional indeed :T

Thank you for the feedback the design was me and some of the coding. My Dad did the complex coding. He believes in our vision too for his own reasons. A young lurker wrote to me (her initial is K, so you know who you are!) and I showed him a quote from her message, and on the strength of that he has been giving his time for free. So K if you are still reading, you are an inspiration! Hippeeechiq, please can you say a little more about the bit in bold?

Thanks, I think they have enjoyed it and will continue using lots of the recipes. They particularly enjoyed the pates and nut butter which I didn't make previously. :A

I will have a proper look at your wording but it won't be until Monday Is that okay?

brilliant, thanks :A

I checked out the net bags of citrus fruit in my Asda.
They range from 5 to 7 fruits, for the smart price range, cost 67p.

If Kitty is getting 7 or more fruits per smart price net, then its costing her a maximum of 9.57p per fruit...
Its over 11p for 6 fruits.

However, at the front of the fruit isle, there was an offer, on citrus fruits...
The fruits looked exactly the same to me. Although they were not packaged as smart price.
The nets contained 10 fruits each.
And the cost was £1.
This information is NOT available on mysupermarket.

If Kitty opts to physically go shopping, she can see that the £1 nets of citrus fruits are better value, if the smart price nets have less than 7 fruits.

Hope this is of some use.
If you need any more info tonight, from Asda, let me know


Just as a wee after thought....
I quite often buy the garden gang fruit...especially when they are on offer, which they do seem to be quite alot (2 for £2 ect)
There is often more fruits in these bags...
I wondered if the actual fruit was too small to be considered a portion, or is this something that would be nutritional viable for Kitty?

Anyway, bedtime

mocking it up didn't take long-actioning it might! So I think we'll have it in the 'exciting future developments' pile, awaiting popularity

ps Aless did you really mean you like this sort of thing from when you were in work (and when you go back?) cos if so, I'm eager to recruit any help I can get my hands on!

I've promised him a big kiss with tongues if he can find 14 errors in the site :rotfl:

Why 14 ? I could understand 10, 15 or even 16 (hex).

And I like the 'meals that won't cost an arm' heading...

Hi !!!!!!, allegra is responsible for that title!

Errm, do you mean you're only seeing those words? Or are you seeing, 'and a leg' too?

Allegra

We are not seeing any legs, Weezl, no
