    Weezl,

    This is the first time I am posting on this thread, I am more of a lurker but just noticed something on your website which I thought would mention incase no one else has before

    The shopping list for month 1 mentions

    500gASDA Pig Liver by Weight (100g)

    should it be

    5 x ASDA Pig Liver by Weight (100g)

    Also just wanted to say, you and everyone else here are doing an amazing job. I have tried some of the recipes and they are yummy

    Keep up the good work

    pinkhayley-cooooo-eeeee! Are you there?

    I wonder if you would mind doing what you did with the leftovers article, but this time to give shirl a very basic beginners idea about growing her own?

    ie the savings she'd make on our planner/extra treats she could have if she sows a few seeds?

    Perhaps we could all chip in with our tips :)

    I'll start, if shirley grew basil, chives and thyme/oregano on her window ledge in her kitchen, she'd have a brilliant way of jazzing up many of our dishes. Basil is beautiful in the panzanella and HM calzone, chives would be gorgeous in the spanish omelette and thyme in the vegan tarte tatin-nomnomnom :D

    nutritionally speaking I've understood that the body is able to store vitamins and minerals, and so having 6 one day and 4 the next is no bad thing AFAIK... But happy to be corrected... What were you thinking?

    Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them. Because of this, your body can't store these vitamins. Any vitamin C or B that your body doesn't use as it passes through your system is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.
