    are you happy lifting the code from the current live version and dropping into Wordpad/ your fave html editing format?
    No problems.

    And completely off topic, did you ever get any spare mins for a little minty green striped pillowcase dress in the end?
    :o I haven't done it yet. (But the plan is to do it after the Winnie the Pooh Roman blind.) A couple of weeks ago Alice spotted it and said, "That's a dress." and I had to point out that it isn't yet.

    I think you have at least until she's 5 foot before it's too much of a mini dress!

    would anyone be interested in setting that up on FB?
    I'd be happy to do it if nobody else wants to but I don't mind if someone else wants to do it.

    I think I scare them when I give out too many tasks (and shanks is frightened of my singing)

    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

    Sorry Weezl, the one day you ask me to do something I wasn't around!

    Do you want still me to write up what has been collated?

    Yes I did, thank you Shanks :A

    I will have a think of tips I have myself and if anyone has any more please feel free to post them/pm them to me.

    I will send it on to you when done, Weezl. It will probably be tomorrow or Friday though as I have some work to be getting on with tonight. Will that be ok?

    Ooooo, memememe for a Facebook page! Unless Susan had her heart set on it :D.

    Sorry I somehow didn't check the thread all week and then there's 4 pages to catch up on.

    Anyway, wanted to give some vegan calzone feedback.

    I made the full amount of dough (which is VERY confusing on the recipe page, by the way...basically, my strategy was to 1/3 the normal pizza dough recipe since it's supposed to make 12 and the calzones make 4? I think that bit needs to be rewritten.) but then realised I only had 1 tin of toms in the cupboard so there went my plan to freeze 2 calzones. I'll be honest I was very skeptical that the bechamel sauce was going to make it "pizza-y" enough to make up for the lack of cheese. Another point of feedback was there was WAY too much tomato sauce. I don't know how you could possibly fit 1/2 tin toms in each calzone. I used 1 tin for 2 calzones and I easily have at least 1/3 of it left (but I could've even used less in them - I was trying to squeeze in as much as possible)!

    There's no temp on the recipe so I ballparked 220ish that pizzas usually cook at. They were done in 8 min for me.

    TASTE:
    Absolutely phenominal. Gorgeously savoury and oozy. The "white" sauce (which was definitely a shade of brown due to Marmite) somehow brought it all together wonderfully. I did add capers to the filling as I couldn't bear the thought of just onions inside :o (and DH has jalepenos as he loves spicy things). 10/10 from DH & I. I just asked DH for a quote and he said, "Delicious. Please bake it again in the very near future!"

    :T :T :T weezl

    (P.S. I ate mine with some spinach just to be healthy for my Weight Watchers :) )
