    Hiya Taka :)

    Thanks for your thoughts and for saying the photography helps:A

    Allegra is the s word subsistence :o

    Yeah. Remember oats and lentils ? Remember peanut butter and a vitamin pill ? This is a subsistence planner ! Jamie and Nigella and Delia are not about subsistence - they are about profit.

    And yet this - a subsistence planner - is so darn attractive that even its creator is forgetting that what it is, in essence, is about taking it beyond the bone. Raw knuckle, rock bottom.

    You really should be proud of yourself, you know. I know I'm proud of you :)

    I think you should have more confidence in the plan.

    The thing is that as an intuitive, give it a go person, I am inequipped to change this. I tried yesterday to be super disciplines and follow, letter by letter the onion tart recipe to see if it's wrong as per goggle's feedback. But I just can't! I look at the ingredients, wander into the kitchen, twiddle around a bit, and hey! a pie! And what I've written is my best description of that.
    ...
    Am I making any sense?

    Does anyone agree?
    It makes perfect sense to me. This is exactly why I wasn't a recipe tester - I knew that I wouldn't make anything without changing too much to make it a meaningful test.

    fair nuff :)

    I hadn't intended to! (I'm guessing you mean on here rather than on the site?)

    Well, as you've argued your point in such a mature and logical way, I guess I have to relent :D

    hope it's gone ok arty, sorry I wasn't around :)

    have been at playgroup with fergie this morning, but will be doing some more work for kitty this afternoon.

    Lesley, what things have I got on the sheet but not the planner? Bit worried I've made a booboo there! Just any one example you can remeber would be handy if you can recall.

    just catching up and I will post the differences

    Weezl/pinkhayley - if that does go in as an alternative suggestion it'd have to be served with half an egg each (or have to add egg to the pastly bites) to get everything in I think?
