Weezl, a bit of guidance please, when you can spare a moment - what is it that I am supposed to be doing re Kitty's batch cooking ? Just general advice or actual breakdown ? And is a weekly shopping list wanted or not ?

I don't mind doing whatever needs doing, but we've been getting a lot of negative feedback regarding the scariness of the batch cooking, and some mixed messages regarding the desirability or otherwise of a weekly shopping list - and as I really do not have that much time to spare, I'd hate to give it all to something that will be neither use nor ornament.

So I need you to put your PM hat on and tell me what is needed before I get stuck in..... Pretty please

yes, wasting allegra's time is not a good thing! I often feel this too, we start doing something and that's when we find out that 10 people didn't want that they wanted the other thing! Ooops! The perils of an internet collaboration methinks!

I think a weekly shopping list would be extremely useful. Kitty's batch cooking guide would be great but I think is not an essential, since she can read shirls and the ace article of tips put together by the old-stylers. What I would find very helpful though would be that thing you did with different 'levels' of essentialness, d'you remember? Like definitely get ahead with these things, these things are a bonus, and these things only if you're feeling super-deliaish.

mainly I think she needs something to help her get into themindset that it's not just a question of looking at the meal planner 5 mins before lunch and being able to instantly grab it from the fridge.

That's what I probably think, but I'll give others this evening to persuade me otherwise if they'd like to and then I'll rule with an iron fist (Like baronesss thatcher!) tomorrow morning.

Howzat?

I always thought they were very brainy....

Weezl, thanks for input, I'm on it

Lesley_Gaye

the walnut spread has no bread

the lentil pate had some very funny numbers which turned out to be the HM bread line on the nutrion part getting a bit crunched

have altered some portions to be what I think

other than that, it seems to be alright. I'll ping it back and see what you think

I'm not sure what your intentions are re number of times to serve some things - didn't we have that somewhere? I'll see if I can find it

I posted it and then allegra arranged it into a month. It was just after her hols so I think it was sunday 6th, but my search facility isn't working!

quick question, I pulverised my oniony bits into the houmous, but I know you did without the FP how diddy did you have to chop your oniony bits so they dispersed easily into that amount of houmous?

Does anyone have the link to the full shopping list for Kitty ? I have this, the latest version by artybear, but some things appear to have been out of stock at the time, so I'm not quite sure what the full version looks like ?
