    Just eaten half of it for my tea before I go to school for a Governors' Meeting.
    If you can beat my husband to the other half... well... better run!

    It was smashing.

    OH will have his when he comes downstairs (he's working from home today).....

    I've got some celery about to go off on me - again! Thats the one thing that tends to defeat me - I buy a bunch of celery for the one or two stalks I need - maybe use a couple more in a stirfry and the rest then goes off on me.

    Can I freeze celery?

    Any ideas for using up besides salads - right now all I can think of is celery sticks with peanut butter in that I read about the other day - but dont want to try just at present, as I am on a diet (peanut butter - fattening)!

    Ollie and honey the Bounty Balls are absolutely fabulous. :drool: Very sweet though so not something I will make *too* regularly. They really are just like teeny Bounties.

    honey I made about 26 - they were are mini bitesize. DS and DD have scoffed half a dozen between them already and DD has packed some in her lunchbox for tomorrow. I call that a success!

    Hope you enjoy them too.

    Tasha, the recipe for bakewell tart sounds lovely.

    Today i had some natural yoghurt to use up, so my DD1 had it when she came home from school starving. I have some baked beans left from tonights tea so i'll give them to DD1 on toast for breakfast tomorrow (she hates some cereal) so she will love that.

    I have some grapes to use up but my DD1 & DD2 have gone off them and i can't get them to eat them...so has anyone any suggestions?...i don't suppose they freeze so you can eat them as cold snacks do they?

    Depending what else you have you could use in soup and then freeze?

    Jellie I don't think you can do jam in all BMs, I have a Morphy Richards fastbake which has a jam recipe, however it was such a pain to clean afterwards, I've never used it again for jam making

    Thanks- that explains why I hadn't heard of it as I have a Panasonic! Useful to know it's difficult to clean up.

    Exactly what I was going to suggest.

    I eat them frozen instead of ice cream
