Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: no babies in baby oil. Did he therefore think that as baby oil contains no babies but is made for babies that cheesecake contains no cheese but is made for mice??? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I too will happily cut the mould off a chunk of cheddar, or even bread, but won't eat blue cheese.

I never liked mashed potato, until DS was born. He was allergic to dairy, so in our house, mashed potato is just that, none of this adding milk, cream or butter lark, just spuds - bashed to death. Same for scrambled egg, its just an omelette really, that you keep on stirring.

I've got a recipe somewhere for chilli in the slow cooker, that was posted years ago on the PAD thread, I'll search it out.

morning everyone, hope you're fine.
I'm having a slow one, OH is on an early so he headed to work for 8am. I've got a load of washing in the machine and will set the dishwash off when that's finished and the washing's pegged out. Fingers crossed it stays dry today, not holding out much hope as it's Latitude weekend so that usually means rain, rain and more rain. Hopefully we can head somewhere nice this afternoon.

Hi, hope you don't think I was being critical; I've just never found a pasta sauce I could get on with. And for me, we haven't go an Aldi near enough to make it worth the effort.

NL - NO, NO, NO!!! Courgettes in cake is just SOOOOO wrong, its like putting carrots in a cake - I believe some people do that. Even M & S apparaently. I've never tried carrot cake because every single part of me rebels against the idea.

no definitely not, I do like the options of short cuts in cooking as sometimes I'm just not upto it but its still better than a takeaway .

Have to agree with you about courgettes, they make my throat swell up :eek::(

Banking is looking really good, well done on spending only twenty quid over the weekend, with family over etc.
Hope all your meal plans worked out.
