Does that mean in week one I buy 800g of butternut squash but that I will only use 160g in that first week?

And this

1 x Lemons (7) - 1 used

Can I just pop in, ladies, to say that the V+ epg (and possibly the Sky+ epg) now has next Monday's programmes listed, so you can put "Cherry Has a Baby" into your television planners (assuming you want to!)

Linky for the programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ttbr9

I'm fussy about cheese. I like it a lot but only the milder versions, I'm allergic to mould so blue cheeses are all out and Brie, and anything that's too strong smelling just stresses me out in case it's mouldy so I can't enjoy it.

Oh, and I'm introducing a tradition of pasta bake on Christmas Eve involving reindeer shaped pasta from Ikea and a jar of sauce with some grated cheese. Basic washing up, requires no effort at all and is seasonal, Molly can eat with us with no problem and I'll make the full bag so there's enough for leftovers Boxing Day lunch.

I'm the same with cheese although not allergic. LOVE cheese but only if it's mild and not foisty smelling / tasting. Edam is my favourite.

Serve with crusty bread and pickled beetroot / red cabbage...

I have 12 jars of pickled red cabbage which I am about to chuck straight in the bin if anyone wants the contents.......

Jakesmummy - corned beef hash is my mum and sister's favourite but I can't stand it _pale_

GISI glad yo uhad a good time. Sound slike a lovely relaxing weekend away. I picked 2 1/2 lbs of blackberries over the weekend and made jam for the first time ever yesterday. Planning on getting some more so if your jelly recipe is a good one can you link it for me please? :A

Sugar I think you should replace your epipen too. Sounds like the expense would be worth it

Becky I'm glad today has been better for you. We have all had those days and it totally does make it easier once you accept it a bit. Certainly did for me anyway.

of course, but a much cheaper idea is to get a misting sprayer (reusable) from wilkos (99p) and pop a veg oil and water emulsion (give a good shake) keep in fridge, shake before use.

Administers same amount of oil, but costs 12p to fill the thing rather than £2.65

I can work out the squirts and the ratio for you if you like too.

Aww I love having you around :T and :rotfl: at oinky page hog

Susan even if I was actually asleep there would be no more things done by my husband :rolleyes:

Fattybooboo have a good day at work tomorrow

no worries at all m'lovely:), but so I don't annoy all the other parents clubbers, there's a thread here apecifically for testing the recipes and asking questions, so you would be VERY welcome if you have any more questions, pop on for a preview of the christmas week meals.


As for the above, Yup you buy a whole butternut squash (approx 800g) but keep the rest in fridge.

The lemons mean 1 bag of lemons with ideally 7 in the bag, and use one, store 6

So tigs is it a series all about you????

Sorry, someone asked for the cheesecake recipe.

Firstly, there are lots of things you can put in to make it fancy, a spoonfull of jam, grated chocolate, a shot of baileys if you have some, or even some caramel splodged through it. Just work out when it would be best to put in. Fruit on top and you can make an easy syrup with some spoonfuls of jam, sugar and a little water, boil on the hob to reduce then cool in a sink of water. Biscuit base can be anything, but some biscuits go soft quicker, especially cookies, so usually digestives are best.

for the base 300g digestives plus 40-50g melted butter. Mix and press into a cake tin with removable base, the ones you push the base up work best.

for the topping 400g full fat soft cream cheese, 250mls full fat double cream plus 2-4oz sugar depending on tatse and what else you are using. Whip to a stiff consistency and smooth over the base. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.

I use an 8inch tin and get 8 good slices.

If you are using a topping, out it on before you remove it from the tin and make sure it's set (if using the syrup).

ETA, Weezl could do the costings for butter and sugar. But cream - 80p, cheese - 94p, digestives - 69p (with 100g left over to much while it sets)

Thanks weezl, Ill join that thread now, sorry xxx

Good luck at work tomorrow FBB. I hope the day goes quickly for you.

I used the recipe at the bottom of this post and sieved it to get a smooth jelly. It tastes amazing and I might well go and get some more blackberries this week if I can find the time.

Henry is really screaming tonight and I suspect it may be down to sore ears . My poor bubba.
