    Hi folks,

    I generally make some soup and sometimes fresh bread. The soup is incredibly cheap to make though when you consider the number of portions you get. I usually make tomato and basil, roast red pepper and tomato, spicy parsnip or vegetable broth etc. I also make leek and potato or cream of vegetable sometimes.
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    Gattina - I think you may have solved my lunches for this week, was getting bored of salads, so time to crack open the pasta jar and get cooking! :)
    At least the fish fingers are still frozen, that's what I keep telling myself (Truly Madly Deeply)

    If anyone wants a pasta dish that can be made in bulk and can be eaten cold, I would recommend chilli, streaky bacon, garlic, spinach and olive oil. I knoew the ingredients are quite expensive but they all stretch quite far in the pasta and it is delicious hot or cold.
