ok, nearly died of maths just then, but I think using sandra and aless's helpful research :A that the family's B12 needs are met by 11 boxes of hot oaty do-dah and 3 jars of marmite.....

Ok, I have some seriously interesting recipes to conjure up

Your efforts to provide people with recipes that they can live on healthily in straitened circumstances are really wonderful, thank you. Thanks to murrell too for all the work she does on behalf of vegans.

On the B12 side of things, your GP can provide a B12 supplement for vegans. I know this because my blood is being monitored regularly and I was in need of a B12 boost and have been prescribed tablets (better than injections imo)

I realise that this will only help if you are one of the 'lucky' ones who doesn`t need to pay for prescriptions.

We are going to the Isle of Wight festival so will be singing along to Jay-Z and Paul McCartney.

I so want to go too. I have never been to a festival and I will go one day soon, I'm planning for next summer. No-one I know would want to go, I am trying to decide whether it would be better to immerse myself in it by myself, or try to find someone to go with

have a great time being uber-cool, and good luck too to Mr Arty, gunning for a first, that is seriously brainy

morning all

I might not be on great form here today as was up from 3-5 with vomitting and a very bad headache.:(

Kind DH cleared up the bathroom floor, fetched bucket and was a star.

So now I can't be in a grump with him anymore about whatever it was that had annoyed me before I went to bed!

Anyhoo, pressing on with arty's list of the nodethirtythree links.

Juliette, you're superb at detail, might you be able to check all the changes have uploaded properly? I'll shout when I think I've finished?

(PS Is it your Dad or your DH who makes exceedingly good cakes?:p)

allegra and everyone, do we think we can go live with an initial idea of 'here are your recipes kitty, have a look at shirl's batch day for inspiration, and this excellent page of tips on how to plan a batch day....'

or do we wait until we have a prescribed kitty batch day (which I still haven't published for shirl! ie we've not minded too much!

rainbow, are you around?

I have a question for you!

sorry to hear you're feeling icky, hope it goes away soon

I think we could go ahead on this basis, seems to me you will be tweaking away for a while yet on the site

Hi Weezl

Sorry to hear that you haven't been well & hope you are feeling a bit better.

No problem, I can check changes once done if you let me know when done & what roughly. Popping out soon but will be around this afternoon.

And Mum's cakes are much nicer than Dad's!

Allegra

Hope you feel better soon, Weezl ! Feeling icky is never much fun

I'd say go ahead. Frankly, the feedback to the batch cooking guide has so often been that "I would not dream of doing it all in a day or even a weekend", even for an experienced batch cook, that I am beginning to think that it is just a certain kind of person that the guide will benefit anyway, and I think that she - or he - will be quite capable of drawing up their own plan based on whatever we have got up already.

I am not being lazy, btw, I will still do what I said I would, just really do not see the need to be held up by the lack of a "proper" guide :cool:
