1st Nov is World Vegan Day - I'm a veggie so will give being a vegan a try!

26th Nov is Buy Nothing Day, very apt for us MSEers!

Love the ideas on here, thanks.

aww, me and my sisters used to be made to eat some yucky things by our very frugal, strict grandma, so my sister now hates baked beans and salmon sarnies amongst other things! lol!xx

My mam always took the salmon out of the tin and painstakingly skinned and boned it before mashing it for sarnies - I loved her salmon sarnies so it came as a huge, and for me, I must say disgusting revelation that some people left them in!!!! ( Don't want to offend anyone - the disgusting bit refers to the unexpected crunch as you bite into a piece of bone). I found the inclusion of bone and skin so off-putting in salmon sandwiches that to this day if anyone I know doesn't remove the skin and bones or anyone I'm not well enough acquainted with to ask offers me salmon sandwiches I always tell them I don't like them. My mother in law of fifteen years still thinks I don't like salmon sandwiches!!!

Well done Pixie, I haven't got as far as looking at the November Days but I will definitely give the vegan day a try and the Buy Nothing Day.

I'm still planning things around Oct, wk beg 17 is National Baking Week so at the moment I plan doing a Gingerbread Traybake (got visitors coming soon) sausage rolls and quiches with hm pastry I have lurking in the freezer and Ive run out of biscuits so will be baking some this week - not sure what yet.

16/10 - World Food Day - although it is more about food poverty around the world my effort will be to use up what I have and make sure nothing is throw away.

21/10 - Apple Day - As it this past week was Bramley Week I tried out Beef and Bramley Meatballs, they were yummy and so tender - have some leftover so they may appear on the menu again.

22/10 - Nut Day - I thought maybe some fruit & nutty cookies or even a chicken & cashew dish, although I have a nice recipe for a crunchy salad that includes cashews, so that would go with anything on my menu plan.

28/10 - Wear it Pink Day - although I will be wearing it Pink on the outside I thought for the inside a Salmon dish of some kind incorporating maybe pomegranate or even beetroot - if the budget allows maybe some Rose wine .
