gailey_2

I love the concept of this thead

but its long a detailed.

How about breaking meals plans, recipies into sep sections

breckfast
lunch
dinner
snacks.

all costed so people can pick and chose their planners then.

maybe have a list of staples.

inform people that if they opt for value its x amount cheaper still.

Its all about levels of dedication and slill.
maybe 3levels

begginer
experienced
hardcore

people can then move up and down plan thats right for them.

will definatly look up last 284pages in hope for ideas.

would love to feed whole family 4
2adults
2kids
no pets
includes snacks, fruit
breck,lunch and dinner for 5quid a day.

I have finally managed to catch up with the thread :j

Many congrats to Mr Arty :T

And also Many congrats to Howlin :T
I am of course insanely jealous... I currently overpay my mortgage by £80 a month... I soooo wish it was near the end But I have a few more years yet

Hayley... I am not sure how this works, or if its available to you, regarding the electric meter thingy...
But British/Scottish Gas are doing an Energy smart thing at the moment, and you get one of these electric meter things free I believe.
I keep meaing to look into it, but keep getting sidetracked
LINKY

And talking of getting side tracked....
I called Asda today, regarding the firming agent in the kidney beans.
I asked ....
How much calcium choride was in each tin ie what percentage and in grams?
If the calcium chloride is in the water, what absorbtion rate, if any, would be incorporated into the beans

They have taken a note of my queries, and will email me with answers, hopefully next week sometime.

Off out for a walk now, then I will be making some houmous/tomatomous and maybe some carmelonionous
Oh, and a chickpea curry for tea

tomatomous:

200g dry weight chick peas cooked as per packet instructions
170ml oil
50g tomato puree
15ml balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper
1/4 tsp chilli
Method



Place all the ingredients except oil in a food processor, then gradually add the oil whilst pulsing the food processor until you have achieved a loose runny consistency a bit like natural yoghurt or double cream.

Make once in the month- serve 10g per person per meal, can be frozen.
