I've run out of kitchen cupboard space. As I live in a flat, that represents a storage problem, oooops!

I have the same problem

I've got stuff stashed in my son's wardrobe (unknown to him) under a shelving unit & various other places around the flat.

If I were to suddenly shuffle off this mortal coil, the family who had to clear the house would be cursing me at first :eek: then blessing me as they divvy up the spoils

This made me smile, as my Mum was a young adult during WWII and had a 'reputation' for squirrelling things away. When she died, my sister and I helped Dad go through his house to tidy and move on and we found numerous bags of brown sugar - it became a running joke which brought some lovely smiles and laughter at such a sad time - 'oh look, another bag of sugar!' I'm sure she knew what would happen and would have loved the joke.

When my sister and I went through the kitchen cupboards, we found that my late mother had hoarded lots of kettles. We found about 10 of the things!

Has anyone else got any naan bread? If so how are you planning on using it?

Phil Vickery's baked sandwich naan recipe is both good and flexible: eg, it works very well with tinned sardines or pilchards instead of the bacon (tho' you might be better off skimping on wet items such as the tomato); it's also very good with charred aubergine slices, garlic and tomato.

Egg tortilla casserole can work well with naan (or left over pita) if you cut it into appropriately sized pieces and keep an eye on it while toasting in the oven or even on the stovetop.

I've run out of space in the kitchen! All of my cupboards are well and truly full. Got my order today, complete with lucky box which had an interesting selection in (12pack of crisps, tins of ravioli, two pots of moisturiser, some little milk pots and some biscuits) but now the kitchen and bathroom both look like a supermarket.

does anyone know where I could find out the calorie content of the 'ration pack' foods - the Tex Mex soup in particular.

Thanks

Just had a delivery - I added some of the toffee filled chocolate bars to my order. Unwrapped one to nibble on while unpacking and gloating over my full pantry shelves and thought 'hmm. Odd taste for caramel'.

Then I saw the side of the packet - 'Contains alcohol'

The perils (or bonuses) of ordering obscure Eastern European confectionary!

yes i did feel a bit merry after eating a bar lol
