weezl74

'Fraid so

But I think I remember you from the USDA challenge days?

I'm amused that we have lurkers who daren't post! I must sound very scary :rotfl:

ISOM, pop on and tell them I'm an old softy really?

In_Search_Of_Me

this is ISOM popping on to tell them shes an old softy. No money changed hands in this declaration!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Just catching up with you all...weezl I made the pumkin pie and mum and I are now addicted! Im going to experement in a mo by making a cake with the rest!! Some of last batch has been frozen but was thinking it would be lovely mixed into yog, custard etc...I also added some ground rice as am not great with soggy bread as one of my "things"..plus have run out of bread!
Keep up the good work all. Kiss for "my" boys weezl!

Allegra, not at all in a naggy way;), just so I know whether to ask for any other help, are you still thinking of looking at home page and cooking advice wording?

No probs if you have more fun things to do with your time, I totally understand

I should be so lucky ! :rotfl: I did tell you to give me a prod if I start holding you up, and you should rightly do so. However, in a serendipitous kinda way, I do happen to be working on it as we speak, and should have it for you by the close of business today, barring any unforeseen disasters... :T

Incidentally, regarding the website - any chance the recipe listings could be divided up into dinners, lunches, breakfasts and snacks ? Might not seem very important, but I did so with my printouts for the test month, and it was a huge help when trying to organise all the kitcheny stuff !

In the chicken and onion pie recipe on the website, the pastry ingredients are listed as flour and oil, but the method refers to mixing flour, oil and salt. Also in the method, there is a reference to pastry thickness of half a centimeter rather than centimetre. Of course you could cover all national variations and just abbreviate to cm

thanks HG:A, I'll change centimetre now

I removed salt because people didn't like the way the text wrapped round.

Do people feel it's ok to assume they have salt in the house?

I didn't have salt in the house and found I needed it more for the bread than anything else. Most people will have some but I would add it to the shopping list as the plan uses quite a lot.
