    Well we had a really old style tea tonight. ;) HM soup made from cabbage, onions, carrots, lentils and barley. Followed by a sort of fish cakey type thing made with mashed tatties, bacon bits, onions, and cabbage. I cooked it long and slow and it was LOVELY. So however much that cost it wasnt a lot, and meals like that might be a big help to us in the days to come.
    God.. I nearly said "in the dark days to come"...been reading too many wartime books! :eek:
